Mesrobian Students Remember 9/11

This year marks the 10th anniversary of the tragedies that struck our country. On September 11, 2001, thousands of innocent Americans lost their lives. This morning during our daily line-up, Mesrobian students remembered the tragedies of 9/11.

"Ten years ago on September 11, 2001 the United States was unexpectedly attacked. Many lives were lost on that September morning when the Twin Towers, the Pentagon, the Capital Building, and four American planes were targeted by terrorism. This is an event that forever changed our country and the world. I was only a few months old at the time and didn’t realize what was happening. However, now that I am older, and have learned about it, I see the impact it still has on our lives ten year later. America still emerges as a world leader. Even during one of our countries darkest moments Americans pulled together in many ways. While Americans watched the events on TV, many prayed, and many cried, but none lost hope in America, its future, and its promise for a better life. Many heroes emerged during the events that took place on September 11, 2001. And it is a day we will  never forget."
