I was sitting at school and everyone was talking about something. I didn't know what had happened that morning until my middle school principle told everyone what had happened. At first I was shocked wondering who would do such a thing. When I got home I was glued to the television all day wondering who would of attacked us.

My life has changed a lot after September 11. Now my mother would not let me go out with my friends as much. She was worried about me being in danger.

I think we should remember how the people of the United States got together. And how everyone was trying to help clean up the mess.

Yes, I helped my father put the american flag up on our house to show our respects to the people that had died during the attack. The american flag stands for so much more to me now. Before it was just a flag that had no meaning to me, but now the meaning of our flag was clear. It is a symbol of our nations strength, our courage, and our vengence.
