When the planes hit the WTC's I was in my English class. We were just about to go to our next class, when a pera-pro came into our room and told Mrs. Pekink to turn on the T.V. That was when the 2nd plane hit. My eyes filled up with tears. I couldnt comprehend why on earth someone would do this. I was shocked and knew that right then and there our freedom was taken away from us. I knew that we were going to WAR.. Who ever did this to us, they did this to get us to break down. They hit us hard and good. But, I for one am NOT going to let that play apart in my life. I am not going to let these terroists run my life. I will remember this day forever, but I am not going to not go to school or work or go out of the house just because of what happened. That to me is a sign of weakness, that lets the terrorists know that what they did hurt us and frightned us. Lets prove them wrong, GO about our daily lives but remember this day as a day of awaking. I am going to leave you with this note.
" Live your life to its fullest" Dont think that you have all the time in the world to get your life together. Life can be cut short. Thank you and God Bless you all.
I will continue to Pray for the Families who have lost thei loved ones as so everyone who has lost their freedom to fear and freedom in a way..
Love Always & God Bless,
