It was your typical Tuesday afternoon. At least I thought it was. I was walking home from school just like I would normally. I felt as normal as can be. But then, when I walked in my house and looked at the T.V, I was puzzled. My mom was home from work early, my sister was home from school, and there was burning towers on the T.V. screen. I asked my mom why she was home so early. And she said, "Amber, don't you know what happened to the world today?" And I had no clue what she was talking about. Then she told me that The Twin Towers had been hit by two planes. I asked her if it was an accident, and she said "No, it was on purpose." I wondered why any body would just crash into two buildings. Then, i called my friend on the phone. She told me that she was pretty sad, and that she would be saying her prayers every night now. I was glad to hear that, but I was still sad about the Twin Towers. I'm only a 12 year old girl in the 7th grade, even though I was in sixth grade at the time. I think that it's way to early in a young girls life to experience how many idiots we have in this world. I told every body that if I ever seen O'sama Bin Laden, I would punch him. And if you want the truth, I really would. Those two pilots are animals to kill themselves for thousands of innocent people to die. I was thinking about all of the children who now have no guardians. All of those innocent people had to suffer, because of a really bad sinner! I wish I could STOP this nonsense. I really do. But i'm not sure thats possible! If I could change one thing in this world, it would be that all terrorist would become good people, and kidnappers, and robbers, would stop all of that nonsense. I thought the world was full of wonders and dreams. But I guess I was wrong. This world is extremely dangerous, but i still thank God for creating it. And I am now very protective over myself, my family, and friends. I make sure that the doors are locked when i'm home alone, and even when i'm not home alone. Thats because now I have experienced what stupid people do, and I don't want any body to do any thing stupid to me. But I still stand high, show my pride, and show that i'm still proud to be an American. GOD BLESS AMERICA!!! Thank you Jesus, for leading us through this. And heal all of the ill. I'll be praying. Amen!!!
