E2LA's personal 9/11 story

Post Reply New Topic

Today, is obviously, the 15th anniversary of the most tragic day in modern history. I thought I'd take a moment to share my thoughts on how it affected me, and how it changed me, for the better, as a person.

I was (largely) a sullen pre-teen who had started high school who was almost anti-social, but the events made me make a full 180 on who I was. I wanted to cherish life for all it was worth and see some good in the world and in myself, and encourage others to do the same; this is why I am who I am today: An upbeat man who's always going to endure even in the face of the worst crap that gets thrown my way. And thus my mantra: "I will endure".
