4/21

Several events in my life have caused me to become disillusioned about how the world works. Probably a notable one for me and many other Americans were the September 11 attacks on our country. In 2001 I was only 11 and I didn't quite understand what was going on but as I think about it and I got older it made me think. It made me wonder why someone or a group of people would hurt or hate another group of people for just being different. It ,I guess in some way, made me question my trust in people and humanity. It showed me what the world was really like and that there are very bad people out there willing to kill to achieve their goals. However, at the same time it showed a rare but positive side in humanity when everyone gathered together to support the country and one another. While losing faith in humanity it made me gain it right back.
