My morning routine in high school was pretty simple, I would get up get ready and go to the subway to catch the train to get to school. However after the events of September 11th took place I started noticing something. The media was warning people to be more cautious of people and watch out for terrorists. Basically what they were saying was 'look out for anyone with brown skin they might have a bomb'. I really didn't pay any notice to these warnings and I figured neither would other people.
