When I first got to school, I heard something about the World Trade Center being attacked and at first I didn't believe it. Then I went to my teacher's room and watched the second plane hit the South Tower. Then the Towers collapsed. We watched some more and then we saw the damage that was caused to the Pentagon and where the fourth plane landed outside of Pittsburgh.

My life has changed dramatically since 9/11. I knew some people who lost friends and family and I felt sorry for them.

I think that we should remember those whom lost their lives in the WTC and those who tried to save other peoples lives and lost theirs in the process. I also remember that a friend of mine held a fund-raiser to help the WTC cause.

Yes, we flew our flag proudly outside our house. Yes, the American flag now means more to me then just a flag, it shows our freedom, justice, and liberty. It stands for who we are not what we are.
