Statue of Liberty

            The Statue of Liberty, an iconic symbol of freedom and democracy, stands proudly in New York. Designed by French sculptor Frederic Auguste Bartholdi, it was a gift from France to the United States and was dedicated on October 28, 1886. The statue is a colossal figure of a woman holding a torch aloft in her right hand and a tablet inscribed with July 4, 1776, the date of American independence, in her left. Her flowing robe and crown of seven rays represent enlightenment and liberty. The statue's pedestal is engraved with the famous sonnet "The New Colossus by Emma Lazarus, which celebrates America as a welcoming haven for immigrants. The Statue of Liberty remains a powerful symbol of hope, freedom, and the enduring values that the United States represents.

New York and New Beginnings                               My parents decided to surprise me on my 14th birthday on December 5 in the year 2021. A last-minute family excursion to New York City had been organized. We spent five days there, doing as much as we could in that short amount of time. I could not resist it during my thrilling brief holiday from school because of its allure and well-known attractions.

9/11

 The events of September 11, 2001, mark a tragic day etched in history when coordinated terrorist attacks shook the United States to its core. On that fateful morning, four commercial airliners were hijacked by members of the extremist group al-Qaeda. Two planes were flown into the iconic Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York City, causing both towers to collapse within hours, devastating the skyline and claiming thousands of lives.

The magnitude of loss- nearly  3,000 innocent lives diverse in nationality, occupation, and background-resonated globally, uniting nations in mourning and solidarity. The aftermath of 9/11 brought sweeping changes in security measures, reshaping policies, travel regulations, and international relations. Beyond the devastat...
