Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: My Story I woke-up that morning as usual, but I was very excited, because I was twelve that day. My birthday, September 11th. I went to school, where my friends and I celebrated until classes started. I went to language arts, then to reading, lunch, and finally to social studies. Only one more class after this one, I thought. In reading we had gotten an anouncement on the intercom. Our principal told the teachers not to let the children know any recent information...which didn't help, because of course we kids began to pester the teachers! In social studies our teacher turned on the television and let us watch. The first scene was of the Twin Towers with smoke billowing from one of them. There was a news flash, and the second plane had struck, killing thousands more.I felt like crying, all of those lives gone, because...? There were no explanations. And on my birthday too! Now, years later, I am so proud of my country for finally capturing Saddam and I am proud of all of those soldiers for fighting, risking their lives for their country. I could never be so brave. Land of the free, home of the brave...America.Many of the brave are gone now...but they will not be forgotten. They and their families are in my prayers...as well as the people overseas in Iraq.
