By Erika Dennis: I was a fourth-grader on Sept. 11. I remember coming back from music class and getting back to my classroom and just knowing something was wrong. I had seen some of the teachers crying, but I didn't find out what was going on until my mom picked me up. She sat me down and told me that something horrible happened and that the world was changing. I was really scared by the images I saw on the TV, but I didn't really grasp the enormity of the situation until a few years later. The next day in school we talked about what happened. That whole week feels like a blur.
