In the school I watched a YouTube.com montage of the second tower being hit on 9/11. This is particular poignant to me because I live 2 blocks from the Brooklyn's Heights promenade which has become a focal point for people to think about the tragic event of that day. On 9/11 I was less mature and was not able to fully understand the magnitude of the day however today 7 years later and living close to the promenade I feel much more connected to the event and the lives of the people lost on that day. I also feel angry that it has taken me so long to get to this point.
