Has life returned to normal? Yes and no. Nothing has changed in my daily activities, except that I'm more cautious since 9/11 in going about my daily routine. I wake up at 4:30AM to pray, then go back to sleep. Then I wake up again to get ready for school, and leave by 6:45AM on most days. I have classes, tests, projects and extracurricular activities. But due to 9/11, I was exposed to a lot of the problems that were going on in the world. I have also learned how biased I was. Going through 9/11 has also allowed me to learn what young people in Palestine and Israel are going through, as well as so many others around the world. I've also realized just how much I take for granted.
