September 11, 2001 changed America’s history. Many of us remember the exact place and moment when we heard the United States was under attack. Many of us also remember how Americans united together, ready to defend our country and protect our citizens. During a time of anguish and grief, we came together as one. In honor of the lives we lost 20 years ago and the countless repercussions many battle with to this day, for them, let us choose unity over division. Instead of pointing a finger, offer a helping hand and a heart that resembles the true spirit of American patriotism.
As we vow to never ever forget, may we never stop teaching our younger generation, and generations to come, about what we lost and what we gained through a tragic event here at home.
To the first responders, service members, and those on the flights, our American heroes, thank you for your sacrifice. We honor your courage and will always teach our future generations how America rose from the ashes, and she always will.
God Speed,
Omari
Service is Essential. To Whom Much is Given, Much is Expected.
Being a professor allows me to share what knowledge I have with others. It is also an opportunity for me to continue to learn because I firmly believe that by teaching we better understand what we are teaching and we also learn from those we teach.
I connect with people. Whether large or small, the power in speaking is being able to connect. We are more alike than we are different, and as a public speaker I look to tap into that connection.
