It was odd how that morning, I had not turned on any type
of media, my first glimps of the burning towers
was walking to my locker in the hall, one of the teachers had about
20 early bird, kids in his room,they were all watching the news
teachers were walking back and forth from their rooms,calling their families.
I sneeked a peek into the room and saw the second plane crash into the tower.
I didn't realize there were people in that tower,I just didn't grasp
that mothers, fathers, sons and daughters were lost to that crash! Until I did ,
I needed to talk to someone about it.

Yes , it has. For one I try to let my parents and family
know how much they mean to me . I try to at least say a
goodbye to my parents before they leave to work or even to
the store. I know for sure that the families who lost to the crashes wish
they could have said their last goodbyes to the victims. I
try not to worry about the little problems because I know I
have a bigger one, trying to show my family and friends how
much I care for them.

The heroism and pride those victims showed us Americans we
could be. They showed us we can once again be united under God.

My family did indeed fly the American Flag. But my
feelings for the flag haven't changed. I still believe
that the flag showes the rest of the world, we are still the
UNITED States Of AMERICA.
