9-11

Eight years ago when I was driving to my work, right at 6:40 am I opened the Persian radio in the car and heard about 9-11 attack. I could not believe my ear. That day was one year anniversary of my job at the company that I was working for. It was company’s tradition to call all the employees to that big back yard and announce work service anniversaries. Our company was not doing very well financially, although it was a big corporation and we all knew that they were struggling but nobody would think that there would be layoffs. Any way as soon as I got to work, we all were called to gather in the back yard. We thought that they wanted to talk about 9-11 attack but the president of company announced that there would be %10 employee lay off on that day. I was one of the people that got laid off because was with company not so long. I remember that I was very upset, one minute I would think about 9-11 attack and another minute would think of my lay off. I was shocked and very disappointed. The layoff was a good thing for me because I ended up getting a better job, but 9-11 was not a good thing for the whole world and we are all still suffering from that event. That changed the history and lots of other things. There are lots of theories behind that event and people analyze that evil event in different ways.
It is so sad that we human beings make the world worse and worse every day. We are destroying ourselves, our earth and future generations as well. What can really change us? May be more equality in the quality of our lives, more education and being less greedy can help a lot!!
