On the morning of September 11, 2001, I remember getting ready for school. I was in the 8th grade at Fulton Middle School. As I was almost ready I heard my mom shreek while on the phone with my dad. I ran into her room as I stood there, in shock to witness the first plane hit the WTC. There was a huge explosion and so much fire and dust. The news cast kept filming the tragedy as people jumped from the buidling to get away from all of it. I couldn't believe that this was actually happening. I was apart of this generation that witnessed the terrorist attack.

My life has changed emensily. That day means so much more and brings the whole nation together as one on Sept. 11. I respect things so much more and I live life to the fullest becuase if that can happen out of the blue, it can happen any time now.

The braveness of all the people that helped and survived the tragedy. And also the importance of our country's freedom.

Yes. My family put up the american flag in front of my house.
