911DA Story: Story
Since the attack of September 11th, my life has not been the same. I have a new outlook on life. When I am in a car or on my school but, I see a whole new world. Flags and ribbons are all over the place. September 11th is not just a regular day; it is a memory that will have an effect on us forever.
The tragedy has made me look at my family differently. Most families lost a dad (or other family member) in the attack. Some days I just want my dad to leave me alone because I am in a bad mood or I do not want my dad to help me with my math homework. I realized that some families had babies that did not get to meet their dad. Some families had an unborn child and neither the dad or mom got to see their child and the other way around. Now I try to make ever moment count with my dad.
Red white and blue are the colors that represent our nation. Everywhere I go I see at least 40 cars or buildings with a patriotic symbol. Whenever I see this it makes me wonder. Did these people ever hang flags outside their houses before? Or did they just decide to put them out after 9/11? But at the same time it makes me feel good inside because it shows us that our nation is strong and not afraid to show everyone who we are.
9-11 has defiantly affected everyone in America. There is now tighter security at the air ports to make sure everyone is extra safe. Many Americans are confused or mad at the people who crashed the planes. They might be asking ?Why would anyone want to do this to anyone??
Every ones lives have been changed in some way since 9-11. It not only affected me but almost every American, physically mentally and emotionally.
