Listening to peoples stories about their feelings in hard times is impactful. I think that in some way it's sort of cool to hear how people process devastating information, and what their first thoughts are when hearing things. One of the stories that really stood out to me was a Muslim woman named Anjum Mir who was in her mid thirties during 9/11. She talks about how so many things were going through her head when she received the information. She said she felt like she was hit with a "double whammy." She was scared for her family's safety, the people in the buildings safety, and most importantly what was going to happen to the Muslims after everything was said and done with the terrorist attack. She says something about feeling bad for her 2 year old child and how he is going to have to grow up in this. I totally agree with her. Society can be so evil and corrupt that sometimes I wonder if I would even want to bring a child in to such a messed up society. I also heard a story from a man named Khaled Abou and what his reaction to 9/11 was. He mentions the hope that he had for Muslims in this situation and how much of an impact it had on him and his family. He talks about how much 9/11 brought him and his family closer. I think that it's super inspirational to hear about people can be going through such a hard time but somehow seem to make the best out of it. I can't even begin to imagine what these people were going through. Especially families who lost someone in 9/11. Having to watch what's going on but not being able to change it or do anything about it would absolutely suck.
