I was at school. We just finished marching during band 1st period. After that, we went to our 2nd period class and the t.v.'s were on. As I looked on the screen, I noticed the news contained a lot of smoke due to a fire. We kept watching and found out that terrorists attacked our trade center in New York City. It caught everyone off guard. Everywhere you looked, tears were falling down people's faces. I was scared to go to school. In a way, I still am. I live in Fairfield, Texas. Everyone was scared about the terrorists making our little town the next target, including me. There was no telling what they would do next or when they would do it. There still isn't no idea of what will happen next. Everyone was scared and people started cherishing their family members. Everyone in school actually got along for a short while. Everyone in school accepted everyone else regardless of past feelings. It's just sad that it took a tragedy like this to bring our country together.

Yes. I get along with more people and others get along with me. There was a couple of students I didn't get along with. Now everyone gets along. We stick together more now than before. We don't stick together as much as we did when the attacks first happened but we do to an extent.

We should remember to never let our guard down. Things always happen when you least expect it. Remember all the innocent people that lost their lives on a day that everyone believed would be a normal day. We have to stick together nomatter what.

I didn't really have an American flag at home to fly in my yard but I was in girl scouts. We did the pledge of allegiance every Friday at oure meetings. I held the flag a few times.
