A personal note
Today, 8 years ago, a very horrible event happened. It was a hard time for not just Americans but people of all cultures all over the world. I’m sorry for the loss of those that were killed on 9/11. I hope those who never got to say good bye have made peace and know that their loved ones are now in a better place and will not be forgotten.
I still get very emotional talking about 9/11. One of the great things about going to a very international school is that I get the chance to see a mini version of the world mourning this… well there really is not a strong enough word for the hate that was brought into this world. Children who knew nothing of war are now being shaped by it, I know my critical years as a young teen were shaped by the event.
Let go of the little things and remember to love with all your heart. There is so much in life we cannot control, but what we can is how much love we show for the important people in our lives.
Also, please do not forget those at war now. Whatever your feelings about the wars, remember that those soldiers are young men and women, mostly the same age as us college students, risking their lives. A ton of Lynn students have family over there, please, show your support to the soldiers and their families. War does not just effect the solider but the whole family. I look forward to the end of the wars and our soldiers, contractors, and diplomats are home, safe with their families and friends.
I urge everyone to show more love in their lives. Smile more, let the little things go, say I love you at the end of your conversations with those that matter the most to you. We are all equal on this planet, some choose to do evil, I encourage you to show them that love, kindness, and understanding go a lot farther at the end of the day.
This weekend, take an hour out of your busy schedule and feed the homeless, call mom and dad or grandma and grandpa, donate money to a charity. Do something good. Be inspired by this tragedy to turn something bad into something good.

Thanks for bringing us the memories back once again. Though the picture that pops into the mind is not too good, it is surely necessary that we keep ourselves reminded! Thanks.
