NMAH Story NMAH Story: Story How did you witness history on September 11th? Share your experience. I remember that I was in 2nd period and I really didn`t know anything about it I was a little scared and I found out what happend and then I was like WHOA! this is serious bussiness! It scared me something fierce because to think that kids were going to come home to no mom or no dad etc. and it saddend me very badly because I knew that I was at school and I didn`t know what was going to happen because of it all. I wanted to tell my family how much I loved them and how I was sorry for everything I have ever done cruel to them and I will always love them! I knew my cousin Stephanie was leaving for the Air Force in a few short weeks and I didn`t want her to go what-so-ever because I didn`t know what they were going to do but it turns out she didn`t have to go over there she did the regular basics and stuff like that but I was sooo scared I didnt know what to think. NMAH Story: Life Changed Has your life changed because of September 11, 2001? If so, tell us how. Yes, I have become more open minded and at first I seemed that I couldn`t trust anyone and people that were foreign I actually would stare at and hate them because of the religion and beliefs ,but then I learned from my own stupidity that they were human just like me and it wasn`t there faults at all. I would never judge anyone by anything and I dont know what hit me and first because I am one of the kind never judges anyone people and the next thing I knew I hated every foreign person and I knew I was totally wrong for that and now I am always going to the mall and stuff like that and if someone looks at me and smiles I just smile back or pretty much whereever I am I just smile I never really thought about freedom until Sept.11 but I really am Proud to be an American. NMAH Story: Remembered What do you think should be remembered about September 11th? I think Americans and everyone else around the world should remember the firemen and women and the Priest that died there and all of the victims and there families and realize how great America really is because were closer than ever now and this day really brought our country closer together. NMAH Story: Flag Did you fly an American flag after the events of September 11th? Have your feelings about the American flag changed as a result of September 11th? I tried that whole week to wear RED WHITE AND BLUE. I think now that Sept.11th has happend I look at the world around me and I mean I always have but I have a passion to try stuff now because Sept.11th made me realize our world can change in a day and I remember when I got home on Sept.11th I just sat down and started writing poems because I love poetry and I was thinking to myself how well I could write my poems and I also decided how much I love my country.
