The biggest terrorist event during my life was 9/11 when terrorist attacked the Twin Towers in New York. The attack of 9/11 is personal to me because my uncle was on one of the floors in building.

Reading this‚ it seemed simple enough—than I tried to write something down. I got as far as listing the numbers 1) to 5) allowing a few lines of space between each numbers to jot down those five-defining-me-things… Oh my‚ this was tough!

I choose this poem mainly because of the title. I was and still am a bit of a Bob Marley fan‚ his music always managed to make me happy no matter how bad my day was.

Bob Marley stood for what he believed in‚ he stood
