I WOKE UP AND SAW IT ON TV BUT DIDNT REALLY UNDERSTAND WHAT IT WAS. IT WAS MY FRIENDS BIRTHDAY, AND MY COUSIN DROVE ME TO SCHOOL AND SAID THAT THEY DID THAT. I DIDNT REALLY UNDERSTAND UNTIL MY TEACHERS TOLD ME AT SCHOOL. AND ON SEPT. 12 I FOUND OUT THAT SOMEONE IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD DIED IN ONE OF THE PLAINS.

IT MADE ME REALIZE HOW IMPORTANT LIFE IS. AND THAT IT COULD END ANYTIME NOW, AND HOW CRUEL PEOPLE IN THE WORLD ARE. IN SCHOOL, I HAD TO PICTURE AND IMAGINE WHAT IT WOULD FEEL LIKE IF I WAS IN THE PLAIN NEXT TO SOMEONE THAT I CARE ABOUT VERY MUCH, AND IT MADE ME REALIZE THAT DEATH IS VERY HARD FOR MYSELF AND EVERYONE THAT I KNOW. IT EFFECTS EVERYONE.

EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENED THAT DAY. RESPECT TO ALL THE BRAVE FIRE FIGHTERS, AND EVERYONE THAT HELPED OUT. PEOPLE THAT HAVE DIED IN THE TRAGEDY.

NO I DID NOT. I GUESS MY FEELINGS CHANGED AND I HAD MORE RESPECT.
