Doubt #1

The people that have shaped my view of how the world works are my parents. Usually, children will take after their parents in beliefs and customs. Having been born in Israel, I have experienced many things that most American kids haven't. I've seen terrorist attacks and soldiers crowding the streets. I learned pretty early on that the world, sadly, wasn't a nice place. It would be a lot easier if people just accepted each other and worked together instead of being enemies. Life in the U.S. is a lot simpler, but the fact that there was a terrorist attack on the Twin Towers in 2001 shows that that life isn't as distant as we sometimes imagine it being.
