September 11, 2001, 21 years ago, the day the world changed.
I was 12 years old, I remember those days well, I was in class at the CollĂšge de la Mine, in Le Molay-Littry, a small village in the Normandy countryside, 10 km from Bayeux.
It was a beautiful day, classes were going well and I was getting used to this new establishment, when the attacks took place in New York and Washington D.C. we were isolated, internet and cell phones were still rare at that time in our community.
When I got home from college, I turned on the TV and was shocked to see the World Trade Center towers in New York City on fire and collapsing.
I was 12 years old and that day I understood that after that the carefree world I know had just disappeared and that nothing would ever be the same again.
And you, what did you do on September 11, 2001?

Le 11 septembre 2001, il y a maintenant 21 ans, le jour ou le monde Ă changer.
Jâavais 12 ans, je me souviens bien de jours lĂ , jâĂ©tais en cours au CollĂšge de la Mine, au Molay-Littry, un petit village dans la campagne normande Ă une 10 km de Bayeux.
CâĂ©tait une belle journĂ©e, les cours ce passer bien et je commencer Ă mâhabituer Ă ce nouvelle Ă©tablissement, quand les attaques on eu lieu Ă New-York et Ă Washington D.C. on Ă©tait isoler, internet et les tĂ©lĂ©phones portable Ă©tait encore rare Ă cette Ă©poque dans notre localitĂ©.
Quand je suis rentrĂ© chez-moi aprĂšs le collĂšge, jâai allumĂ© la tĂ©lĂ© et câĂ©tait le choc je voyais les tours World Trade Center de New-York en feu et sâeffondrer.
Jâavais 12 ans et ce jour lĂ jâai compris quâaprĂšs cela le monde dâinsouciance que je connais venais de disparaitre et que rien ne serai plus comme avant.
Et vous, quâavait vous fait le 11 septembre 2001 ?
