It is an experience that evokes strong emotions and offers a wealth of education, allowing me to virtually visit the 9/11 Tribute Center. And while I wasn’t there, the online experience was an inside look at the exhibits and personal testimonies — and a glimpse into many moments surrounding September 11, 2001.
The virtual field trip was a way to understand the impact of that day. And speaking with survivors and first responders offered a personal view of the tragedy, depicting both the loss and the incredible strength people demonstrated in its aftermath. What struck me most was the unity and resilience that emerged from such a dark moment in our history.
The experience showed me the significance of empathy, remembrance, and community. The virtual visit to the 9/11 Tribute Center was incredibly insightful and also a powerful reminder that even after a great tragedy, hope and humanity can endure.. 9/11 was such a cruel time for everyone across the world and the United States of America, with the amount of loss and fear it put into people's hearts. The 9/11 Tour was a great way to understand the feelings up close, especially for someone who was not born yet or who was really young
How did you speak with survivors in the virtual field trip? All I had for my virtual field trip was a 360 degree view of Te Arai Point.

ReplyDeleteMy name is Madison, and I was also not alive when this event occurred, but the heartbreaking stories we grew up hearing are enough to leave a lasting emotional impact and make this day feel heavy with meaning. I really liked what you shared, but I do wish you had talked a bit more about a specific image. It would've been powerful to hear why that particular image stood out to you and what made it meaningful in your eyes. Adding that personal connection would make your reflection even more moving and relatable.
ReplyDeleteI really liked how you described the 9/11 Tribute Center. You captured the emotion of the experience really well, especially how you mentioned unity and resilience. It’s powerful how a virtual trip can still make you feel connected to that moment in history. Did any specific story or person from the tour stand out to you the most?
