My name is Alex, I live in the Philippines and I was only 7 when the world trade center collapse.
During that day, I woke up at around 8 and I my parents normally wake up earlier than me, I noticed them watching the TV and not moving an inch. During that hour I didn’t know a thing what was happening but my parents where in shock for some reason, when I asked why they told me the reason. I went to school later that day and my Dad went to work as well but my mom watched on.
This just shows that even though we aren’t Americans, even though we weren’t straightly affected by the event, it still shows that Filipinos and Americans hate terrorism and I pray that the Philippine-American relationship against terrorism, tyranny and extremists will never fade and that we will work together to finish them.
I’m 17 now and I’m studying to be a Nurse then proceed in being a Doctor, and what I learned is the beauty of life, even if we have complains about our individual lives in every angle we look at, we should be thankful that we still get to breath and see the people we care about.
My prayers, condolences and respect goes to the 2000+ victims of the 9/11 attack and I pray for their families too.
