September 11 is a tragic day in every American's life. Some people were hurt more than others, but everyone was hurt in someway.
on September 11, it was a normal day for me, waking up and going to school. After a few minutes in homeroom, my homeroom teacher told us that a plane had hit one of the World Trade Towers. I thought it was a freak accident at first. when a plane had hit the second tower, I knew there was something wrong. When I got home I found out that a plane crashed in Pennsylvania and another into the Pentagon. later, I found out that all these planes were hijacked. I was shock; i never knew anything like this could happen. the next morning, when I watched television, I heard more about the World Trade Center. I found out that thousands of people died in the building. I was terrified when I heard that policemen, firemen, and even innocent bystanders were killed by falling debris.
Their intention was to try and divide the United States, but we have been able to pull ourselves together from that tragic day. We were able to reunite amongst ourselves. this is now one of the most pratiotic days of the year. People all over America have put up flags and posters saying, "United We Stand," in every corner. this day is so important that even other countries have joined in to remember this day. it is even acknowledged before basball games. this day is surely one that will never be forgotten. In conclusion, these are my memories from the most tragic day that has ever accured during my life.
