My story is a little bit different,all the stories i have read are about people who know about our nation and whats going on, me i never pay attention to the news or whats going on. Im a regular teenager who would rather care about hanging out with my friends or women.I remember that day like it was yesterday. I was in school and by the time i even knew what was goin on it was close to 3 hours after it happened. I remember students talkin to one another about what was going on, and i did not think anything of it. Even when i found out what happend it did not seem like a big deal to me, but when you see so many people talking bout it like someone just hit a home run in the 9th to give your team the lead you start to think more and relize that this is affecting me, this probably affects me more than anyone. I have to live in this country not in fear but the feeling of being secure. How can you achieve this when you never know what might happen. One day you wake up get a shower, throw some cloths on, go to school then the next thing you know your getting attacked. How am i supposed to know that i will be safe tomarrow when i go to school, how do i know it wont happen again.Even though we have the best defense as in the army or the air force, those are just people like me and you living through the same fear. No one can predict the future if we could then something like this could never have happened. So now when i hear about september 11th i could tell you what happend and i am proud of that because before this day came i dident care about to much but now its time to stand up and fight for my freedom because you never know when that may be taken away.
