I was sitting in third period and I heard an announcement about a plane crashing in to the twin towers. At first i really didn't understand what was going on because they didn't telll us everything. They didnt say it could have been a terrorist attack or that maybe it was an accident, they just said there was a plane crash, which really leftr me confused. They had announcements about the crashes in 2nd, 3rd, and 9th period. So when I got home I found out about everything that happened. That these were possible suicide attacks from terrorists from the Middle East. After all that I learned when I got home changed my perspectives on a lot of things. It also scared me that people would do this to other innocent people. It made uneasy and unsafe. I mean things aren't good if you are scared to be at your house. Lter on that day my dad and I were driving past my high school and people were outside having riots in front of my school. There was a blue truck that safid honk if you love America. There were kids and adults running around with flags and signs. It seemed very different and i this is how i had known that America had changed. Their were even more people protesting by my house, because i lived close to a mosk. All of this was very chaotic there were police from every town around us there, and their were news crews and everything.

My life has changed since September 11, because I believe everybody has a right to freedom, and that day freedom had changed. The people in that building didn't have freedom to do their job. The people in the plane didnt have a freedom to use transportation. The people in the streets of New York City didnt have the freedom to walk down those streets without harm. If they think they are going to change America's standards they are wrong, because not unitil that day had i realized how tight of a bond America has. Just to think Hundred of police men and firefighters gave up theri lives trying to save a strangers life, makes me think about how big of hearts those people had.

Everyone, everyone wasa hurt in one way or another.
