On September 11, 2001, I was a regular seventh grader going to music class. When I saw, on one of the school's televisions, a plane going through a building. After I got to music I found out I had seen a plane go through the first Twin Tower. All trough music, we kept the television on to see if anything else would happen. All of sudden, Boom! Another plane crashed through the second Twin Tower. Everybody in the class was shocked. When I got home from school, I saw on the television that a plane had in Washington D.C. had crashed into the Pentagon.
Something good that happened was four men stopped terrorists from crashing into another building. They did this by overtaking the pilots and crashing into an open field where there weren't any people. A couple of days later, I found out Osama bin Laden and his Muslim followers were behind the terrorist attacks. He said his religion told him to attack America, but other people of his religion says that is not true.
My life has changed in a lot of ways since September 11, 2001. I have taken fewer things for granted, such as my family and my friends. Also, I now know the U.S. is not as indestructible as everyone says it is. This also shows that the U.S. has to be ore alert about terrorists, and they have to take extra precautions. My life has also changed because I am closer to my family more than ever before. I now realize I can lose anyone in my family at any time. I don't feel safe anymore. When a plane flies over my house, I think of September 11.
I think anyone in the planes, in the buildings, or helping to try to save people's lives should be remembered. Also, I think the four men on the Pennsylvania flight should be remembered. This is because they overtook the pilots and crashed into a place where no people were around. the New York City police and fire department should also be remembered. They tried to save survivors from the burning buildings. In my mind, I will always remember what happenend on Septmeber 11, 2001.
