When people ask me "Where were you on September 11th?", I could already fully remember everything before they even finish their sentence. I may have only been around 5 years old at the time but when I saw the television reporting the news of what was happening, even I knew that the United States, and even the world, would never be the same. My entire family was circled around the television, my Mom looking distressed, my Dad was in shock with tears forming around his eyes, and my other siblings looking confused. Even the neighbours gasps could be heard from afar. Shockingly, I managed to process enough for my eyes to escape the glow of the TV and soon glancing at the windows. I could see hundreds of thousands of people running or driving in their cars outside on the streets. Our family soon joined the herd, with everyone getting in the car. As my dad drove thru the streets, going past the speed limit, I kept thinking on if life would ever go back to normal after this day.
Then it happened.
We arrived at GameStop. We rushed in, grabbed the last copy of Lego Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy, more specifically for the Gamecube. If one more second went by, I could guarantee my life would be different for the worse. We managed to go home safely, and thus, our family played Lego Star Wars II all day long. I knew that this video game was the peak, not just in video electronic entertainment in general but in all media forms together. This masterpiece has proven to be the peak of humanity, reuniting all people in different cultures, races, religion, genders, sexual orientations, and more into celebrating this once in a lifetime opportunity. The newer generations will never know what September 11th really felt like, perhaps someday, God would be generous and forgiving enough to give us Lego Star Wars III: The Original Trilogy. But until that dream comes true, we will have to keep September 11, 2006, a distant memory.

So yes, I do remember that day.
