On September 11, 2001 I witnessed history at the Marlboro Middle School in Massachusetts. I had a normal school day. We had to go back to our homerooms from my science class for no reason. When we got back, my teacheer told us what happened. She turned on the television to watch the news and then realized she couldn't show it, so she turned it off. We sat at our desks for the rest of the day. We spent about an hour talking about whether or not we knew any people in New York.
On the way home on the bus, some people were sad. Others were joking around, not knowing how serious it was. When I got off the bus, I went to my friends house because my Mom and Dad wee not home from work yet. When I got there, we turned on the television to see what was happening. We saw the news on almost every channel.
Since September 11 2001 , my life has changed. Now I am more thankful for firefighters and policemen. I also realized how many people are willing to help other people.Now I am more aware that there are other countries that don't like us. If I see someone tring to do something wrong, now, I try to get someone to stop them.
Thats where I was and how I felt on September 11, 2001.
