I was in school when it happened and the anouncments came over on the speaker and I couldn't understand what was being said. When my teacher turned on the T.V. it was in Spanish but, I had seen what had transpired and I was shocked that this had actually happened. When I saw the second plane fly into the building then I understood what was happening we were being attacked deliberately by terrorists who had no speacial plan but to kill as many people as they could. The day I went home they were sending the firefighters in to get people out of the building but, somehow I felt that they weren't going to have enough time to ger everyone out and still escape but they still did because it was there job.

My life has not really changed because I have always loved this country even though sometimes we try to hurt each other we really all belive in the same thing whether it be in our country or our countrymen we all stand beside one another and that is what makes us strong.

The people who died in this tragic event but also those who tried to save other peole and not themselves. The firefighters knew when they stepped off the truck they may never see their families again that is why they did because they had to and it takes a different kind of mentality to just say, " Okay I may not come back alive but at least their I will save one person who will tell how he was pulled from the grips of death."

No but, I went to a service in memory of the people who lost their lives. My feelings are still strong about our flag and our country. What the terrorists tried to accomplish was make the Americans think they are not safe even in their homes; they failed because we as a nation have been through worse times and every time we joined together and defeated our enimies together.
