On Sept.11th everyone in school was talking about the twin towers, but no one knew if it was true. When i first herd about it I though some sick kid made it up for a joke. By 9:00 when the teachers started getting upset and turning on the news I knew that the story was true. Alot of people were cring and everyone was sad. There was alot of mixed emotions that day in school. Most of my friends were scared about what might happen next. I didn't get to see anything about it until 6th period in my Geography class. My teacher had told us what happened and turned on the news. When I saw the planes hit the towers I was in shock, I didn't think that anyone would do something so bad. That day went from a normal school day to the most depresing day of my life and I will never forget it.

Yes my life has changed. Now I watch the news more often and when I see all the different people on TV sharing there emotions about 9/11 I feel like we have something in common. It made me remember that not everyone in the world is happy with the US. I thought everyone got along because we don't turn anybody down. Now I relize that not everyone is happy about that.

I think everyone should remember the people who died because of the attack, and all the people who are watching out for us everyday. Without people like that we might not be here right now.

Yes me and my mom went out and got a American flag and hung it up that day. My Grandmother and I made candles and lighted them that night. Everyone on my block had put out candles and kept them lit until 10:30 that night. That went on for 3 days.
