I was at school i cant remember what class. We're just sitting in class then i start hearing all these things like something was bomed then i hear Atlanta was ed and alot of other crazy things. But our pricipal walks in and says the Twin towers in New York had planes smashed into them. I get home and my moms glued to the Spanish Channel listening i hear all these awful stories in Spanish my mind translating into English then Spanish making the news ten times worse. and my dad nubly saying one of our friends Javier lived around there and calling and calling him but no answer. We kinda freaked i was really tiring of hearing all the news, but my parents kept listening into the night

Im trying not to be as ful and i stick up for those who are Islamic and ures like that. because in an all white school whos going to stick up for people who can not defend themselfs at that moment and im trying to cherish the freedom of the U.S.

I think how the American pride changed the hispanics of our community got a chance to prove themselves i saw many american flags flying in their yards.

We hung flags at our house and in our car my mom was very patriotic about the whole thing. I dont think my feelings have changed about the flag I still hold the American Flag in high regard as i would hold my parents home country Colombia's Flag
