1. I believe 2013 has been the most dramatic year since
9/11. I was born on the day of 9/11 and ever since then
my world has been full of peace and tranquility. On New
years day I was so excited for a fresh start, a new
beginning. Most months went by fast, until April 15. I
had just gotten home from school; I got off the bus and
sprinted inside the house. I could hear my stomach
making alien sounds, so I took that as a sign that I was
hungry. I strolled over to the fridge but before I could
get there, I saw my own mom sobbing in tears. I didn’t
know what to say, tears fell over her cheeks like a fretful
stream over boulders. “ Mom”…………………………………
she didn’t answer. The TV was on and they were talking
about some bomb that blew up at the Boston marathon.
I knew why she didn’t answer; she started mumbling
the word Sophia. I knew exactly what happened. My
cousin Sophia is a runner .I later figured out that Sophia
was injured by the bomb. A ton I of thoughts streamed
through my head like “how could someone do that?”
I learned a very important lesson that day always
believe a human been can do anything, even if it hurts
people physically and emotionally. Also, some people
are willing to throw everything down the drain, even if
it only starts a little flame.
