NMAH Story NMAH Story: Story How did you witness history on September 11th? Share your experience. well on the morning of september 11th i woke up and all i could hear was the news. And i went down the stairs trying to figure out why the tv was so loud so early in the morning. well my mother came up to me and said that she thought it was all a big hoax when she woke up. she said she thought she was watching a joke. well i started watching the tv for a little bit to see what was going on when i sat down is when the second plane hit the second tower. i was in shock i could not believe what i saw. I was so scared after that i thought the nation was under attack. well after seeing this i had to go get ready for school when i arrived i really didnt talk to anyone because i was just in shock. when i got into my 3rd period class room (biology) at FVHS, with mr. fevergeon. we watched the progresion of this disaster. Once i saw the people jumping out of the building that was the end for me i couldnt hold it in any longer i just started to cry because this is just such a tragic sight to see so many people jumping to their death rather than trying to save themselves or others. i still till this day cannot look at even newspaper clippings of the people jumping because to me that was the most memorable part of that day. NMAH Story: Life Changed Has your life changed because of September 11, 2001? If so, tell us how. My view on life has changed. i look at things as though they were the most precious thing becase we only have one life to live and to die like that in so much fear makes me think that maybe some things arent as miniscule as i think. NMAH Story: Remembered What do you think should be remembered about September 11th? i think we should remember that although they were foreigners that did that, we musnt exclude every foreigner because they arent all the same. my stepdad is syrian and he has family in syria but he is a good man and would never do anything to hurt anyone. they arent all the same. 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? my feelings about the flag have always been the same i have always looked at it as a symbol of our eternal freedom.
