I was getting ready for school my 8th grade yr. I had finiched changing and turn on the TV. I noticed that there was a building with smoke coming out of it. At first i did not know what was going on. I had thought that some one had accidently started a fire. I did not pay much attention to it and went on with my buisness. then i heard my brother call me and told me that a plane had hit the other building. That is when i went into shock. I did not know what to think yet, until my brother told me that it was a terrorist attack. I did not want to beleive him at first. We went to school without saying a word. First period started and my teacher came in crying. She didnt turn on the TV for us to watch. She said that it was too traggic. The whole time we read our SSR book while she was makeing phone calls to family and friends. She then told us that she had recieved a call from her brother who was in Chicago. She told us that they had asked her brother and many others to evacuate a buliding (can't remember the name). School was over and i went home and noticed that my mom was watching TV. I then heard that Another struck in the middle of a forrest and that the people in the plane had tried to fight off the terrorist who had highjacked the plane. The day went on but we couldn't get our eyes off of the TV.

Yes it has but not much. I soon take more precausion about my surroundings.

I think the people in thhe buildings, planes also relatives of those who were lost.

No my family didn't fly a flag. My feelings have changed though. Now I Pay much more priide in the flag. Also I feel that our nation has come close to each other as one.
