I woke up in the morning, and went into the bathroom to take a shower and get ready for school. I turned on the shower radio, and they said that planes were flying into the world trade center. Startled, I ran into the living room where my dad already had the t.v. turned to the news. I was shocked! This plane exploded into the tower. Forgetting about getting ready for school, I kept watching. The second plane I saw right when it happened, not a replay like the first. I had no idea what to think.

It changed a little. Not personally because I didn't know anyone there, and I wasn't there. I still feel that I should do the moment of silence, because it's in remebrance of those who lost their lives.

I think everything should be remembered. It wasn't a good thing, but we shouldn't forget that it happened. Even though it was in New York, it still changed everyone's lives.

After the events, my family hung flags out on our house, and in different rooms. I think the flag's meaning has changed, or became more important since 9/11.
