911DA Story: Story

well i woke up up in the morning and turned on the tv, and thought what was all the stuff about the world trade center and everything. i probably watched the tv for about five hours i ws close to being in tears about what had happened that morning. i was scared that these people would also come to iowa and so whenever i heard a plane i would run outside of my house and look up in the sky to make sure it wasn't anything that was of any threat to me. It was just a really scary thing thaat had happened to make a long story short. i wfelt really bad about the people who had died especially those little kids. so the next day i went to des moines iowa and signed up for the army and just happened to be on probation and they wouldn't let me in until i got off. so i am waiting until november when i get off of probation to sign up. but that is my story and those are my feelings about it. and i also want to thank all the helpers like the firemen, rescuers, military, police and people that i haven't heard thanks to and tha is the doctors who helped save some lives, god bless to all of you and may god be with you.
