Thoughts about Sept. 11, 2001 collected by Youth Journalism International students in interviews and in some cases, offered in personal essays by the YJI students themselves: There was a stiffness in the air. It was a day without smiles. – Kiara Christensen, American high school student living in Saudi Arabia I was in my first year at university. One of my friends often read the news from CNN so the morning after that (when the event took place, it was night in Viet Nam due to time zones), she told me about it.
