America celebrates 9/11, in memory of the victims from the twin towers, Sept. 11.
Throughout many classes around campus, teachers prayed for the families that lost loved ones that day. In chapel, the school talked about 9/11 to the students so they would inform students not to forget the day. During The Feather's trip to New York, last year, the staff visited the 9/11 memorial.

I was 11-years-old, just started my 6th grade year. I was asleep on my mom's bed facing the TV when she woke me up to the scene of smoke billowing out of the North Tower of the World Trade Center.
I didn't know what the World Trade Center was and I knew only one person in the entire state of New York (who lived in Queens) so I wasn't quite sure how to react. What I did understand was that our nation was under attack and that this was something that was going to be in the history books.
I didn't know what was going to happen next, if this terror was over, if it would hit home in Arizona, who was responsible or if we would go to war. I remember noticing the silence in the barren sky as I walked home from school.
The next day our school held a memorial assembly and the magnitude of what September 11, 2001, was finally hit me. The thousands of lives that were lost, the targets that had been missed because of brave passengers, the number of families who were mourning or desperately searching for their loved ones, seeing all the pictures of those who were in the Towers posted around the city on TV I had never seen such pain.
It's hard to believe it's been 11 years and I pray for all those who have to find a way to get through this day every year.
