When I witnessed 9/11 I was in my Engineering Design class learning to build a building out of Popsicle sticks while a real building was being destroyed. For some stupid reason our teacher wouldnt let us view live history in school. I was mad because I wanted to see what was happening. I heard my friends saying Oh yeah we saw it. Its bad real bad. So that made me even more frustrated. But finally I got home and saw my mom was at home crying watching TV. I asked what was it. Then I saw two buildings up in smoke. I heard the whole story finally and saw the most horrible things imaginable. I wondered what would happen next.

My life hasnt really changed because of 9/11. If I had to say something changed I would say that may belief in god has become greater because I turned to him when I was afraid and I am more aware of things

I remember how the news was just about 9/11 for the longest time ever. I remember seeing the people jumping from the buildings. It was horrible people committing suicide like that. The people running away from the clouds of ash. The people crying, breaking down on the streets and most of all the people who gave their lives.My dad also is in the National Guard and worked at security at Newark Airport.
