Little did I know, on my first day of kindergarten a mere 46 minutes after my 8am drop-off, in New York City terrorist suicide attack planes hit the twin towers of the World Trade Center.

Nation-wide panic erupted as people heard and saw images of what was occurring. At least 2,985 people died.

I didn't understand what was causing my mom and others' panic until I grew older, then in school teachers educated us about 9/11 and I realized the frighteningly real risk of terrorists.

| So that's why my mom took me home on my first day of kindergarten, and no wonder they have such tight security in airports. | |
