I feel it in my own personal way, too. I never used to be afraid to fly, but watching a plane crash over and over and over on the news changed all of that. I was nearly in a panic on my way home from my honeymoon. I still look over everyone on my flight to see if they look like they packed lightly, or packed nothing at all, as their carry-ons. In my mind, packing nothing signals trouble, like they don’t expect to get off the plane. I get nervous when people get out of their seat on a plane, or if someone looks nervous as they are sitting on the plane. When in reality, they’re probably just scared of flying like me.

Now it is ten years later. The hope that “we will never forget” is fulfilled every day. It is something that we talk about, and discuss, and watch videos of, and hear stories about still in our classrooms at school. My class is made up of students who were 1 and 2 years old when the attacks happened, but everyone makes sure that even they know the story of the people who died and the people who were heroes. The whole middle school sat silently and respectfully this Friday as we had a moment of silence to commemorate the anniversary.
