What makes the man

I was soon to be nine when I made it to school in time to see my teacher faint. Ten days before my birthday I discovered selflessness. 10 years later I remember what makes the man.

Most people that remember 9/11 speak from the perspective of an adult but many fail to recognize that sometimes as children we were aware of the events. Perhaps not in a political way but yes in the way that people are hurting others. To some daddy never came home. To others mommy never hugged them again. But I'm not here to mourn with them. I didn't lose anyone but I am here to state what's happening to the youth. The people that ten years ago were shaping their identity and are now becoming someone in the real world and were affected by the events caused by hate.we the youth had to grow up in a world destroyed by hate.

First off I strongly state that religion did not cause the calamity but instead it was the ideal of extremists that life is worthless. Some may believe that it is all about the after life. Which regardless of belief it is untrue. LIFE is the cause of all. To all religions it is a time of trial, of the gaining of knowledge, of enlightenment, of tribulation, of becoming our full potential. To non religious it's all that's left. If a man could respect life we'd enlighten each other with culture and knowledge instead of solitude and indifference.

Secondly, ten years later we must respect all those heroes. Could I document every single one I would but to the unsung hero, thank you. Sadly respect does not come from simply remembering. It comes with action. Many have raised arms and gone to war. I also respect these troops. My respect I show by working for unity, for diversity, for equality. People have died for the freedom of this country. So what are you doing?
I recently became an eagle scout and the scout slogan Is DO A GOOD TURN DAILY. The law states a scout is kind. The oath says to help other people at all times. I offer this challenge to you. Give back. And do a good turn daily. It's been ten years. You have grown. Now make a change. Make A difference.
