Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: Tuesday, the 11th of September, I started my day as usual. Everything was normal. I was in Mr. Keating's class in Marlborough middle school in Massachusetts. My teacher was called to leave the room and came back with an infuriated face, red and full of anger. Then it became sad. He didn't say much about what happened, so I was worried about my father who worked for American Airlines. That afternoon I went home and noticed that my dad's car. I was relieved because my father was safe. Not knowing what happened I selfishly wondered whether my father still had his job. When I came inside, I could hear the news so I walked into the kitchen. I saw my mother sitting and crying. My father was talking to my grandfather about his job. I ended the day thinking about the end of the world. I think this because revelations talk about large metal-like birds destroying the world. A prophet might have thought Planes were metal birds. The reason 9-11 has changed my life is I now worry much more. There is worry of more attacks on our country. Also, due to flight 587, my family thought that my father might get laid off, but his high seniority position allowed him to keep his job. My father received a raise to stay with American Airlines. It might sound unfair to have received a raise when people were out of jobs. Others were grieving over lost family members, my father feeling sorry did donate money to the 9-11 funds. I think we should remember the innocent lives destroyed by the 9-11 attacks. We must remember not to be racist as well. One of my friends was shot due to his skin color. His uncle wasn't even Middle Eastern. His skin color determined whether he would get shot with an illegal automatic weapon or not. This happened just a few months after September 11th. I personally believe my friend?s uncle was just as much a victim of the tragedies, if not more so than the people in the towers. To shoot members of your own country is even more disgusting to me then what the terrorists did. The shooter was caught but will probably be out on bail soon. These things should be remembered. The victims of the terrorist's attack and the victims of racism due to the attacks should be remembered.
