Michael Nivens II, 13, Waddell Language Academy, Charlotte: The date of 9/11/2011 had a huge effect on my life. 9/11 was three days after my birthday. One of my friends father was in one of the twin towers. My friends father was in the top floor of one of the twin towers. It affected me because I never got to see my friend's father again. He also moved and I never got to see him again. It also changed how I see Muslim/Arabs. When I was 5 years old I thought that all Muslim/Arabs hated America. I don't feel much safer with government today.

Kali Pietras, 14, E.E Waddell Language Academy, Charlotte: Did the terrorist attacks affect my life? One word, Yes. Even though no one I know was killed; there was emotional damage. I still cry to this day knowing that so many innocent people died. Sadly yes, I feel terrible about it but this is another effect of 9-11. I can't help but watch someone carefully who looks remotely Middle Eastern. Yes, I know that Americans plan attacks to - which makes me wonder are we really safe? No, they might have increased security but that does not mean we are safe. It is possible for another attack to happen.

Sofia Puebla, 13, E.E. Waddell Language Academy, Charlotte: It was only a reqular day on September 11th , 2001. I was three years old when the terrorist struck the twin towers . Even thouqh I was young, these past years on September 11 have had an effect on me. All those innocent people lost their lives because of someone else's stupid decision . Even thouqh that happened I'm not going to blame every Muslim-American because they weren't ALL a part of it. We should not blame them because of al-Qaida's decision. I feel safer with the security even though it takes a long time. It's for our safety.

Karishma Desai, 12, Randolph Middle School, Charlotte: The events at 9/11 have affected my family in many ways. New security measures everywhere have taken away freedoms that were once taken for granted. I'm not sure if I feel safer today, or more observed. It also saddens me that many Americans judge all Muslims as terrorists. Why were all White Americans not judged as terrorists because of the actions of extremists like Tim McVeigh? I am not a Muslim, but I would have no problem standing up for one.

Brienee Magee, 16, Garinger High School, Charlotte: The terrorist attack impacted so many lives but not mine in particular. This attack did change the way I and many other Americans view some Muslims because I feel like something like 9/11 could happen again. I feel somewhat safer after 9/11 because they have established laws like the Patriot Act, and at the airlines they check you before you are able to board a plane. I feel as though Barack Obama is making a huge effort to keep the United States safe. We can never really be sure what could happen in the near future but for now I am sure that we can all say that America has become a safer place after the horrible tragedies of 9/11.

Ranshakia Williams, 15, Garinger High School, Charlotte: The attack of 9/11 had a huge impact on my life. Although at the time I was too young to realize the major effects, I have researched and learned a lot. My views on Muslims have not changed because I know that not all Muslims are terrorists. To be honest, I feel a little safer. We all know we can't stop people from making stupid decisions, but we can try. I believe that the U.S. is doing a pretty good job of keeping us safer. I love being American!

Miriam Magana, 18, Garinger High School, Charlotte: The attacks of 9/11 caused xenophobia and discrimination toward Muslims, which led to tighter security in airports. The Patriot Act was an added security measure; many citizens argue that this act violates citizens' "unalienable rights," as it allows the government to overpower the barrier of the constitution, the document which founded America. They scan people and luggage at airports, therefore violating a citizen's privacy. This added security measure was caused by xenophobia, which is the fear of foreign people; every "middle eastern" person was classified as Muslim and thus, a terrorist.

Ian Duke, 13, Waddell Language Academy, Charlotte: The September 11th terrorist attack did not affect my life. I was only a young kid. After the 9/11 attack I viewed Muslim-Americans as dangerous. Later I learned that they are just regular people like us. When I fly I feel much safer on U.S. airlines. I think the U.S. government did a good job with airport and airplane security. You can go through the airport, be fully searched, and have an X-ray screen your bags. With the changes made by the United States we may never have to relive what happened on September 11, 2001.

Ishan Davis, 13, Waddell Language Academy, Charlotte: My life, nor my parent's life has been directly affected by 9-11, but my heart still aches whenever I see photos or footage from that tragic day. My aunt and uncle are Muslims, and I didn't even know until I was around 10 years old. They completely changed my view on the people of the religion, because they are the total opposite of the harsh stereotypes that some have in mind. Stereotypes should not define your reaction to others. But when it comes to governmental changes, I feel partially safe. But should we still if someone else outsmarts the system?

John Brannon, 13, E.E Waddell Language Academy, Charlotte: The 9/11 plane crash didn't impact my life because I was small. Yes it did change the way I look and talk to people. I speak to people with respect and kindness. The way I look at people is kind of the same too. I look at people with respect and with no attitude. I also, fell safer with the changes because, they are just making sure that it won't happen again. Some of the changes are kind of strict. But we should know that they are worried about our safety.

Julia Whalen, 13, Waddell Language Academy, Charlotte: The terrorist attacks of September 11th affected us all. When we travel by plane and wait in various lines for two hours we are being affected. Most people think of the high security as a nuisance, but it is just keeping us safe. I have not changed my views of Muslims. There are some bad Muslims just as there are some bad Christians or Jews. We shouldn't treat all Muslims as if they are terrorists, because they're not. The changes that Americans have made can be annoying, but I'm glad our country is being cautious.

Jacob Rankin, 14, Waddell Language Academy, Charlotte: September 11 2001 was the worst day of my life. I was five when it happened. Al-Qaida attacked! It hurt my family because my parents work for the airlines. We all knew what that meant....... we won't see them as much. My parents tried as hard as they could not to hurt us, they tried to stay home and tried to keep 9/11 quiet but they couldn't. the way I view Muslims hasn't changed cause it wasn't the Muslims it was al-Qaida. When I think of the U.S. I think safety because after al-Qaida we have been as protected as can be.

Cierra Ivey, 13, Waddell Language Academy, Charlotte: The 9/11 attack did not affect me in any way. It did not change the way I think when I see Muslims or different races. I feel safer before 9/11, but I still think about if it happened again, how will they stop them from continuing? Will they have people on board or will it be to late? When it comes to this day people are sad and scared , including me. What if it hit a building in charlotte? What if it hit another state in America? Then what would we do?

Kaitlyn Feige, 13, Waddell Language Academy, Charlotte: On September 11, 2001, I was almost 4 years old and my sister was almost 1. My family was living in Charlotte N.C. My dad was working for the Air Force. After 9/11 my dad was deployed to Kuwait and Washington DC for a half a year. I never really knew Muslims.Why did they want to ruin America? I still don't understand why some Muslims hate our country and want to destroy it. I never felt unsafe but I don't like having to be at the airport 3-4 hours earlier. I don't like how we have to go through body security now.

Meg Brown, 13, E.E. waddell Language Academy, Charlotte: The terrorist attacks did not impact me because I was only 3. But now I see that it was really bad. Now it has impacted me because at airports you have to go through so much security, especially on international flights and getting back in the USA. I went to Germany with my school and we had to get there 3 to 4 hours earlier. It did not change how I see other people. I think we should just get along. I do feel safe but I think they don't need to have so much security. I am glad that they want to protect us.

Caleb Friend, 13, Waddell Language Academy, Charlotte: The attacks on September 11 had a great impact on my life. My father served in the military at that time. After the attacks, his unit increased their security, training and deployments. So, due to the attacks, I grew up with my father serving our country, and away from home. Though many Muslims probably have nothing to do with terrorism, stereotyping has made it seem like all Muslims are affiliated with terrorism. I do feel safer with the changes the government has made as I know from my father that many planned attacks have been prevented due to these changes.

Saradine Pierre, 12, Waddell Language Academy, Charlotte: When the 9/11 attacks happened I was 3 years old. I didn't know what happened back then, but I bet my parents were scared. As I got older and learned more about the attacks and the people responsible for them, it didn't change my view on Muslims. However it did change my view on Americans. After the bombing Americans came together and paid tribute of those who died and that showed me that Americans can all come together on one thing. I'm not sure what the changes were but I feel safer because they're making sure this doesn't happen again

Jacob Keady, 17, Marvin Ridge High School, Waxhaw: September 11th had as much of an impact on my generation as it did on older generations but I grew up in a post 9/11 world. I'm used to everything, the longer airport lines, the fact that radical Islam is the new Soviet Union. I can imagine that in a few generations, as a nation, we'll put September 11th alongside Pearl Harbor and the assassination of John F. Kennedy. We'll acknowledge its impact on society, remember it, but move on from it, separating it from our daily thoughts and lives.

Aaron Hall, 13, Waddell Language Academy, Charlotte: The bombing of 9/11 did not impact me or my family. I go to a very diverse school, my view of Muslims hasn't really changed. But still many other people see a Muslim and just assume that since their Muslim they have to be a terrorist. Which is just racist. Are we not supposed to treat people the same no matter what they look like? I feel a lot safer with the changes the government has made in airports and in airplanes. With better security in airports and air marshals in planes flying will be a lot safer.

Bianca Gibson, 18, East Mecklenburg High, Charlotte: Living in the streets of New York City made a big difference in my life. Having to face that my uncle and cousin died for 9/11 made me look at things deeper. How did the United States get this? Why? Why did they really attack us? I will never know but yet still wish I could have said goodbye.

Justin King, 17, East Mecklenburg High School, Charlotte: Now that I am enlisted in the military, it is my job to help stop any further attacks; I have sworn to protect this country in any way possible and that's what I plan to do. I do not have anything against Muslims nor do I blame every Arabic for 9/11 because I wasn't raised that way. There is only one group to blame and it is the radicals known as al-Qaida. We are still fighting and hopefully won't stop until all of al-Qaida is brought to justice.

McKinley Ellis, 17, East Mecklenburg High, Charlotte: September 11 is a day all Americans remember. This is the day people lost their lives and families, but most importantly, it drew America together. I lived in New York when the attack happened and my mom was working in the building right beside it. Eventually after some years we moved down to Charlotte because she was so traumatized after witnessing the explosion and bodies from falling from the sky. That's a view she did not expect nor want to see. This changed my view on life because we do not know what really to expect during the day; we can only hope it is going to be a good one.

Madea Gbortoe, 17, East Mecklenburg High, Charlotte: The terrorist attack on Sept. 11 didn't have an impact on me, but it did have an impact on the people around me. It's sad how people's loved ones were killed and wounded by careless and evil-minded people. It didn't change the way I think about Muslims because I know all people aren't that way and you shouldn't judge one whole group of people just because a few did wrong. My best friend is Muslim so she goes through a lot because ignorant people think she's a terrorist. I feel safer with the new changes in the U.S. government and my heart goes out to the people who lost loved ones.

Tiffany Anderson, 19, East Mecklenburg High, Charlotte: My teacher came into the classroom crying. Being so young, I had no clue what was going on. When I came home my mother grabbed me and held me with everything in her. I looked at the TV and all I saw were people running. Living in New York, I have witnessed people die right in front of me. It seems like every time I hear something about a terrorist attempt my heart stops. It has nothing to do with race. No one is safe.

A.J. Dowers, 18, East Mecklenburg High, Charlotte:Yes, the 9/11 terrorist attacks were a big impact on me because my aunt was down by the twin towers when they collapsed. My aunt used to work downstairs in one of the twin towers, and she was terrified when the attack happened. I am happy that nothing happened to her and she is now living happily down here with her family. The attack kind of changed my view on Muslims. I'm happy the government improved security after 9/11.

Mario King, 18, East Mecklenburg High, Charlotte:The Sept. 11 terrorist attacks had an impact my family's life. My dad works for the federal government and every day since then my mom and my sister are scared when he leaves the house. Do I feel any more comfortable with the government of today? Accidents and tragedy happen but this is a good country and we overcome diversity. I still think of everyone as equal, I don't think any differently about Muslims or anyone else. The fact that we can all come together in a time of need makes America even more heroic.

Dre'von Warrior, 17, East Mecklenburg High, Charlotte: The terrorist attacks that happened Sept. 11, 2001 really didn't impact myself or my family to where we stopped doing this and that, but we started to be very cautious about what we did and where we did it. The attack on America did change how I thought about Muslims, but I don't hate. I do respect their religion and I don't categorize them as being terrorists.

Sharron Waters, 17, East Mecklenburg High, Charlotte: September 11, 2001, really didn't have an impact on me. I didn't know anyone who was in the city or in the surrounding areas, but being eight years old watching them go down, with my eyes, I will never forget what I saw on TV - people crying for loved ones, and firefighters crying for sorrow. Even though I didn't know what was going on I knew it would the change the USA forever. Ever since the attack, I feel as if the U.S. government has changed their ways from being a lenient country to a no problem country.

Aaron Nash, 17, East Mecklenburg High, Charlotte: The terrorist attacks on September 11 affected the world in many ways. It affected me, or more or less my friends. I have plenty of Muslim friends who had to go through many different things to gain trust from the country they were born in.

Ashlii Barnett, 18, East Mecklenburg High, Charlotte: The terrorist attack on September 11 had no impact on my life, reason being, I was situated in a foreign country and the little information I know now wouldn't help.

Ivan Gomez, 17, East Mecklenburg High, Charlotte: The terrorist attacks of Sept. 11 changed everybody's life in one way or the other. Many people had a negative effect on Muslims just because of how they looked. Even though safety precautions have been good for the country's defense, they might be a little discriminating.

Ladonya Rorie, 16, East Mecklenburg High, Charlotte: I don't really care about the terrorist attack because it had nothing do with me or anybody in my family. I feel a little sorry for the people who were affected by it. A lot of people lost their lives that day for no reason. Being afraid of Muslims is not something I'm scared of. I don't get on planes, so it wouldn't bother me if they were on a plane. I was too young to remember anything that happened. Just because I don't care doesn't mean I want it to happen again. I would never wish for this to happen again. I will still remember and honor the people who died on that day.

Chris Gagnon, 18, East Mecklenburg High, Charlotte: On that day my uncle died. He was on the floor that the plane crashed into. My grandmother and mother haven't been the same since. Even though the US picked up the security, you can never be too sure if we're going to be safer in the US.

Keishana Redmond, 16, East Mecklenburg High, Charlotte: During 9/11 I was actually living in New York and was at school. I remember they had us watch the news but at that time I didn't know what was going on. The terrorists impacted my life slightly because you never know if they'll do it again. It did impact my friend's parents because he was actually 100-150 miles away from where it happened and I'm super blessed that he was not actually there. It really doesn't change the way I feel about Muslims because not all of them are the same. Although 9/11 happened, I still think the world is better than before.

De'Ja Hill, 17, East Mecklenburg High, Charlotte: The terrorist attack has had an effect on my life and my family's too. When I think back on this event, I think about what if that could have been me or one of my family members in those buildings. It makes me scared to even think about it because it could happen again at anytime and it would be unexpected. I do look at Muslims differently because now I cannot trust them. I definitely do not feel safe, especially on airplanes!

Cyrus Marbury, 18, East Mecklenburg High, Charlotte: Even though it happened in another city, it could have happened here. I didn't change how I feel about Muslims and Americans because that can happen any time and any type of race can do it no matter what. I don't feel safer because the attacks were serious and it makes you wonder if it happens again how deadly or bad it can be.

Adrian Delgado, 17, East Mecklenburg High, Charlotte: Sept. 11 had an impact on me because I am more careful about stuff and I appreciate my life more because it could end anytime. With the changes that the U.S. government does, I feel safe because they know what they are doing.

Tori Stillwell, 18, East Mecklenburg High, Charlotte: I believe the attacks of 9/11 have had an impact on everyone's life. It has everyone rethinking about flying on a plane or worried that maybe even in Charlotte it may happen. I worry everyday that something like 9/11 will happen again. I feel a little safer but not a lot. I feel like the world is going to try and keep getting safer, but no one will know until the time comes.

Jayme Fisher, 17, East Mecklenburg High, Charlotte: On September 11, 2001, my grandmother called me into the living room to see what was going on in New York City. As soon as I turned my head to the television, a place crashed into the towers. Slowly the building collapsed and my emotions began to get the best of me. I have family in NYC, but none of them worked at the towers, so it didn't affect my family much. It did affect me, however, because I thought about all the people that died in this horrific moment. Ever since that day I have looked at Muslim-Americans differently, not so much in a bad way, but in a cautious way. I still give everyone respect as if it didn't happen, but that will always be on my mind. I don't think that the U.S. changes made us more safe because they are still in wars and anything can happen at any time.

Taylor Ligon, 17, East Mecklenburg High, Charlotte: I was only in the third grade. They called us to the library and we just sat on our mats and watched. We didn't understand. We watched but didn't see; I never realized what happened, even now. It just seems like after that we got a little more patriotic and religious and cautious. Even with all the safety changes, I feel the same except I feel like I'm a terrorist when I go to the airport. I treat Muslim-Americans the same. I don't think they're terrorists. I just think they're AMERICAN.

Marco Leon, 17, East Mecklenburg High, Charlotte: The attack on the twin towers did not really have much of an effect on me. I was still here in Charlotte when it happened and I had no family up there. I do wish I had an opportunity to see the twin towers, though. I think the attack did affect the way people look at Muslims because if it had never happened, then it would not be as bad as it is now.

Maalcom Simon, 18, East Mecklenburg High, Charlotte: When 9/11 happened I was only eight years old. But it did have an effect on my family because my uncle was downtown when it happened. It doesn't change the way I look at Muslims because it's not all Muslims who drive their planes into towers, so you really can't blame every one of them for that event.

Tekoria Raiford, 17, East Mecklenburg High, Charlotte: Sept. 11 did impact my life because it was a huge tragedy in the world. It was a crisis because many citizens died. Before it changed my views on Muslims because I always thought that their minds weren't right, but now I realize that life goes on. Yes, it was wrong but people make mistakes and learn from them. Changes being made in the U.S. government since 9/11 have been accomplished because of the high quality security and the world managing to save money if anything happens. The world can be a better place.

Hayden McWhirter, 17, East Mecklenburg High, Charlotte: On 9/11, I was in elementary school. I was informed of the attack while in school. I was devastated by the news. I looked at life very differently. My parents never got home early until that day. My dad asked if I knew what happened; I replied with a soft Yes. I had no idea who would do it, but it made me mad. I overheard my dad saying, "Those radical Muslims!" When I heard that, I started to ignore Muslims. I respect Muslims, but do not talk to them unless they talk to me.

Sierra Finch, 17, East Mecklenburg High, Charlotte: The terrorist attacks on September 11 did not have an impact on my life because I honestly didn't pay too much attention to it or cared. I had sympathy for people who had lost their lives, or loved ones that had people die in their family. I can't speak on my parents' behalf because I've never heard them speak of it. Having this attack did not change how I view or how I treat Muslims. Not all people are the same. I don't know if I feel safer with changes made since 9/11 because anything can still happen anytime, anywhere.

Joseph Stewart, 17, East Mecklenburg High, Charlotte: On September 11, 2001, I was at Richmond, VA, in the second grade. At that age I didn't really know what happened, but I knew that something really terrible occurred that day. I remembered talking about it with my mom to figure out how and why it happened. But the most she could tell me without scaring me is that a group of terrorists decided to hold a group of innocent people on an airplane hostage. That day had a major impact on my life because it just made me remember that every day is not promised.

Michael Scot, 18, East Mecklenburg High, Charlotte: On September 11, 2001, I was in Washington, DC, at Payne Elementary in the second grade when our principal came in the classroom and said, "Mrs. Mason, turn on the TV and turn to the news." They were replaying the first plane crash into the first tower then the news lady said that the plane from New York to Boston had been hijacked. Then they had a live feed of the second plane crashing into the second tower. She said they just got news about the third plane crashing into the Pentagon and another one that crashed in a field on its way to hitting the Capitol. It had an effect on all of us, but did change my views about Muslims.

Lukas Lewis, 18, East Mecklenburg High, Charlotte: I have a few viewpoints on the 9/11 attacks. The only impact it had on me was the impact it had on other people. I felt bad for the people who lost others. I admit that I did fear that there would be more attacks. Other that that the 9/11 attacks had no effect on me.

Delano Heath, 17, East Mecklenburg High, Charlotte: The effect of 9/11 on me was minimal. But the effect it had on other people in turn impacted my view of Muslims. The way adults acted toward Muslims in the aftermath was what took me by surprise and made me question this country. I understand now that panic was the cause of the backlash, and it's a learning experience for all.

David Luckey, 17, East Mecklenburg High, Charlotte: The terrorist attacks on Sept. 11 didn't really have any impact on my life. My life wasn't put in danger's hands, but I admit about being concerned about if terrorists would be able to attack any areas in the U.S. I've never changed on the image or treatment of Muslims or any other race or color. I still to this day can say I am safer now than what happened ten years ago.

Mahmoud Ehdaeb, 17, East Mecklenburg High, Charlotte: First of all, there are always bad people and good people. You can't judge a whole community because a little bit of them are bad. I think that it did make changes in my life because people look at me in a different way now. I also believe that if Osama bin Laden did it, it was set up by the American government and by George Bush. If you really think about it and the reaction by Bush when they told him what happened, you will find the truth. The government is always trying to make Muslims look bad. They don't show how they really are.

Flavio Martinez, 17, East Mecklenburg High, Charlotte: At the time of the 9/11 attacks I was in Mexico. I felt very bad for all the people that died and lost family and friends. I honestly never thought it would affect me, but I think in the long run it not only affected me but also all of my race. It didn't change my views on Muslims; the fault of a couple of people should not fall upon all of its people. Regarding safety I think it did change a lot. There were so many restrictions on travel, however I don't think it's much safer. There are still security breaches and an attack can happen at any time.

Carine Enongo Lohembe, 17, East Mecklenburg High, Charlotte: When 9/11 happened I was seven years old in Africa but my dad was here in America. I didn't hear anything about it until I came to America.

Cristina Rodriguez, 18, East Mecklenburg High, Charlotte: It did change my view of life. Fortunately nothing happened to my family or friends, but it's so sad how it happened to some other innocent people that did not deserve to die. It changed my point of view about life - I appreciate it more now because you never know what could happen. Every time I remember that date I close my eyes and pray for all the people that died because they deserve our respect. It didn't change how I view Muslims because my parents taught me to treat everybody the same. Maybe the changes will prevent some attacks and it makes the people feel safer in their country.

Aric Adams, 18, East Mecklenburg High, Charlotte: The most of September 11, 2001, I can remember was that I was attending 43 Academy in Buffalo, NY. My class and I were located in the school library at the time. Suddenly a news flash went across the television. The whole class's mouths had dropped wide open and one girl was crying extremely loud because she knew someone that died in this terrible terrorist attack. I do feel a little bit more safe now because the U.S. Navy caught and killed Bin Laden.

Herve Omsa, 18, East Mecklenburg High, Charlotte: The terrorist attacks on September 11 did not really impact me in my life. My mom and I were worried about some of my other family members there. Yes, it changed how I view Muslims, but I never treated them rudely. Everywhere we go we are not safe. Anything can happen, even in school.

Tuieng H, 18, East Mecklenburg High, Charlotte: I don't really know about this because I was in Vietnam at that time. I never heard anything about 9/11 until today in class.

Tatiyanna Mitchell, 17, East Mecklenburg High, Charlotte: The attack that happened on September 11, 2001 did not have an effect on me because I didn't know anything about or really hear about it. The only time I heard about it was when people mentioned it in conversations but I never heard the story. I did think it was a very sad day because a lot of people lost their loved ones in that attack and it was a very sad day.

Oliver Phillips, 18, East Mecklenburg High, Charlotte: During the time the twin towers got hit I was in grade school. While the building fell I felt sorry for the families that lost loved ones in the terrorist attack. Personally, not being mean, but the 9/11 attacks really did not affect me or my family.

Justin Mirabal, 17, East Mecklenburg High, Charlotte: I have many viewpoints on the matter of the 9/11 attacks and it affected my life in many different ways. As the attack caused my family hardship in the beginning, we learned to pass what went on. My grandmother worked about two blocks away and at the time my family had a hard time since she did not come back for many hours. My view on Muslims did not change until I hit high school, and then I realized I liked Muslims.

Denis Svet, 18, East Mecklenburg High, Charlotte: The terrorist attack did not have any impact on my life. It didn't change how I view or treat Muslims because each country has some kind of problem, and only because of that attack, we can't say that all of them are bad people. Of course I feel so much safer after the changes the government has made. They always check people in the airport and other places to make sure people are safe. I feel much safer.

Ramzi Omer, 16, East Mecklenburg High, Charlotte: The terrorist attacks on September 11 didn't really impact my life as it did the individuals who lost their family and friends. I view and treat all Muslim-Americans the same because they didn't harm anyone and they're all innocent. I do feel a bit safer because the airports are keeping a better eye and doing more procedures.

Christopher Myers, 16, East Mecklenburg High, Charlotte: The attacks on the twin towers on 9/11 didn't have a major effect on my life simply because it didn't affect me or many of my loved ones. My being a person who shows everybody around me respect until they do something to lose it, doesn't look at Muslims any differently. I don't judge them, just like I don't judge the Japanese for bombing Pearl Harbor.
