Thoughts

**Before writing this, I read and deeply considered the poems and quotes found on this website.**

      It is amazing, not in a good way, how quickly one's attitude can change towards the world.
As students of a teacher that was lost in 9/11 write, it is easy to change your perspective from "don't forget" to "remember." It is easy to change from taking everything for granted to taking nothing for granted. It is easy to change from a trusting environment to security everywhere.
      But it is not easy to forget. It is not easy to forget the lives that were lost. It is not easy to forget the shock that I have not personally felt but have felt through others. It is not easy to forget that not everyone is good, not everyone is kind, and not everyone is concerned with the welfare of others.
We will always remember, and we will never forget.
