I used to be really rude to people for no reason and I would
just make fun of them all the time. On September 11, 2001,
during school they turned on the tv's, and let us watch what
was happening. I was only in eighth grade. At first most of
us thought it was just a movie, or some big prank to freak
us out. Then we figured out it was real when the people
looked so terrified. We got really scared and a bunch of us got
checked out or called home asking about family members and
friends. The teachers started to worry more and so did we.

I accept people for who they are more, I am much closer to
my family now. I am a lot nicer to people. It has really
turned my life around. I was starting to hang out with
the wrong people and do some realy ad stuff. But I don't
do any of that any more. I really have gotten my priorities
stratiened out.

the lives that were lost and the familes.

Yes and not really. I don't say the pledge.
I just don't see the point of saying a pledge to a flag.
Maybe if it was really explained to me I would understand
it more.
