An event that changed my life was a recent event. This event was the world trade center bombing. I remember exactly what was happening when I became aware of what the days events. I was in Richmond town with two of my friends, they both left to go back to school and I stayed to further explore the town. So as I am walking through town, window shopping; occasionally stopping in a store, I come by Dixons; a local electronics shop. When I stop in, I notice that the World Trade Center was on fire. The first thing that came into my head was, "That's a good movie with sick special effects". Anywise, I am drawn to the television to find out more about this "movie". AS I get closer I notice that that this is for real and that the world trade center was really on fire because of a terrorist attack. This event hit me so hard because of many reason, one, being that I am a New York away from my "home", two, being that this happened so close to my living space, and three, people of my family were affected by the attacks. I never thought that something like this could ever happen in New York; let alone the United States. This attack changed me also because it changed my views on terrorism and created some bias towards the Arab nation.
             This event has brought out some things in me that I never thought I would ever show. This event brought some nationalism that I never thought I had. For once I was proud to be American. I think it was mix of being in a foreign country and the event. I think this event solidified my relationship with my mother and father who other than my cousin, were closest to the epic center of both attack one being the Pentagon and the other being the World Trade Center. I think the fear that I had for there safety, showed myself how much I really cared for them, when before all of this I had taken their presence for granted. All in all, The event that most changed my life has been the terror...
