On September 11, 2001, students at schools near the World Trade Center in New York City were close to ground zero during the terrorist attacks. Twenty years later, these former students reflect on how the events of that day impacted their lives and shaped their future perspectives. Many recall the chaos and confusion as news spread about the plane crashes into the Twin Towers. The anniversary prompts discussions about resilience, remembrance, and the lasting effects of trauma experienced by those present in New York City schools two decades ago.
