1.How did u witness history on September 11th?
I did not witness history on September 11th,but on September 12th, I went to school and everybody was talking about it, even the teachers. Mostly, the whole day while I was in school, everybody was talking about the terrorists attack and how the planes crashed. Everyone was just going on and on about it. The things that people were saying were, how did the planes crash. They were also asking people if anyone knew anyone that was on the planes. I also heard what happened on September 11th on the news and in the newspaper. In the newspaper they were also saying how nasty O'Sama Bin Laden was for oing what he did.
My family was talking a lot about it, and I was asking my parents a lot o questions about September 11th. My parents told me that the World Trade Center and the Pentagon in New York had burned down because of the planes and that there is going to be a war and who were the terrorists. My friend's cousin lives in New York, and I was talking to him on the computer about what happened. I asked him if he saw what happened. people were coming up to me and asking me if I had heard about it. I couldn't believe what had happened, and I wondered who wanted to crach into the buildings.
Some of the teachers last year, when I was in 7th grade at the Marlborough Middle School, were telling us not to talk about it anymore until we got home. I think they were telling this to us just in case people didn't want to hear about it anymore just in case they didn't hear about it yet and if there parents wants to tell them. I wil never forget about September 11th,2001.
2.Has your life changed because of September 11th,2001?
My life has changed a little since September 11th because I felt really weird and different because of the war that was going to happen. When I felt weird and different I was sort of in a daze and thinking about what was going t happen (and what is going on right now.) Something like this has never happened to me since I ws bord. other than that, my life has not changed because I didn't know anyone that was on the planes that had died.
3.What did you think shold be remembered about September 11h?
What I think should be remembered about September 11th are all the people that died and that day in the Worl Trade Center and in the Pentagon. That's what I think should be remembered about September 11th.
