NMAH Story: Story

I was in my second-period class when the pricipal came
over the intercom and said, "Teachers, do not turn on your
telivisions and go on with your regular schedule." At that
moment, my teacher went to the classroom next door to see
what was going on. She told us that two airplanes had crashed
into the World Trade center. Nobody told her that is was
terrorists, and she thought it was an American plane. The next
period everybody found out what really happend. They thought
because we weren't "Adults" yet we wouldn't understand or didn't
need to know, so they told the teachers to not talk about it to
thier students about it and that they didn't want us to know what
had happend.My mother told me that on the radio they told the parents
that thier children had been informed about it, but we weren't. We couldn't
say anything about it in class or we would get in trouble. It was a real
eye-opener to all Americans and forced us to face reality and realize
what we believe isn't what everybody beleives in the world.

NMAH Story: Life Changed

Yes it has. I have realized alot of things about the world
that i didn't really care about before september eleventh.

NMAH Story: Remembered

I believe we should remember all of the innocent victims
of that day and all of the heroes that died for our country.

NMAH Story: Flag

Yes i did. We did everything we could to show our pride
for America.
