NMAH Story NMAH Story: Story How did you witness history on September 11th? Share your experience. It was just another day at Waltham High School and I was sitting in my C block class, History, when I got the devestating news form my teacher. Mr.Vandergrift looked pale as if he was sick or something and he stood infront of the class choking the words to us that the world trade center had been hit by a plane. We all had so many questions like why, how and when. It was 9:45 when I was sitting there dazzed and confused in class by the window. I just looked outside and wondered how something like this could happen to us. He turned on the tv in the corner of the room and we all crowded around it. My class was horrified at what was happening. We were all discussing and arguing on what happened and what we should do when all the sudden we see the second tower being hit. The room went silent no one had anything or could say anything. We all were in fear of what was going to happen next. Who would be the next victum, the next target and what building would be next to collapse. For the next hour of school I just sat the quiet in my seat, watching in amazment as our towers crumbled to the ground and as hundreds of people ran through the streets to escape the smoke and debris. For the rest of the day I was just in my own little world. My day consisted of going to all my classes as usual but there was no lectures, no work there was just the discusions of the days events. My soccer practice was cancelled for that day. When I got home my parents werent at work they were on my couch watching the news. I didnt watch my usual t.v show, Friends, at dinner instead I watched the news. The day of September 11, 2001 will never be forgotten in my lifetime. NMAH Story: Life Changed Has your life changed because of September 11, 2001? If so, tell us how. Yes my life has changed in a way that I have become more patriotic and I have more respect for people. NMAH Story: Remembered What do you think should be remembered about September 11th? I think the lives that were lost and the lives of the ones who survived should be remembered. Our two twin towers crumbled to peices before our countries eyes. NMAH Story: Flag Did you fly an American flag after the events of September 11th? Have your feelings about the American flag changed as a result of September 11th? THere is a flag sticker on my parents cars and on my fridge. My feelings toward the flag is that it gives me a sense of pride and hope.
