I first witnessed the september 11th attack
at school on a tv. I think i was in third period by
the time that the teachers were talking about it to the
classes. They turned on the televisions and tried to find
local news stations that would come in on the televeisions.
I couldn't believe what had happened. I think the people I
felt the worst for was the people on the planes that got
highjacked. I don't know what I would have done sitting on
that plane knowing that I was going to die and that i was
going to die by crashing into a building in the united states
that was ment to kill americans that had families and were
completely innocent for the gain of another country.

I think my life has changed because I have a new respect
for fireighters and parametics. I also have more respect
for the people who volunteered. I think that it was a horrible
thing and that people shouldn't fight. I think that the thing
that made the sept 11 attack so wrong was that they highjacked
commercial planes which ment that innocent people that had nothing
to do with why they were mad were going to be killed.

I think that we should remember the fire fighters that risked
their lifes for other people. I also think that we should
be ready incase something like this happend again without
warning.

Yes, my family went out and bought an American flag after
September 11th. We hung it outside above our porch. I think
my feelings have changed about the flag because before
sept. 11th I didn't feel like it was important to show our
American pride but now I do so that when people come over
from other countries they will see how we are all united,
and care about the usa.
