9/11
On September eleventh I was in the seventh grade at Pennfield Middle School. I was in math class when I heard on the loudspeaker that there had been an attack on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. Nothing more was said that day about what I had heard on the loudspeaker, other than my social studies teacher, Mr. Bannak saying ?someone?s going to be bombed tonight.? When I heard this I didn?t know what to think other than some one had tried to bomb the three places and or walked into them with a gun and caused people to become shaken up. But nothing even close to the magnitude of what had happen that day a year ago had come to my mind.
When I got home I did find out what had happened until my mom got home and I saw Peter Jennings on the news that night. The images of what happened that day will never be erased from my mind.
Four planes had been deliberately crashed that day. Two planes had crashed into each of the World Trade Center buildings. Another crashed into the Pentagon and lastly another had run aground in Summerset Pennsylvania. These events have shaped this nation and my generation.
People came together to help out in many different ways as possible. We became a nation of unity, not just liberty and justice. The president is more popular than ever before due to the events that happened and the correct political moves. I personally support his war on terrorism and hope that we succeed in deterring any future attacks against this nation.
The attacks of September eleventh 2001 has changed me in a way I?m not quite sure I can describe. This has made a strong, determined nation out of America and we will succeed in our efforts against terrorism.
