It has been one year since the day the world Trade centers collapsed. There are many things i will always remember, and one of them is how I found out. It was bus evacuation day at school. While I was on the bus, the bus driver said, "You know, you should really be paying attention. the people in new York are using the same safty procedures your learning about now." When we asked him what he meant, he said that a plane crashed into the World trade centers. No one believed, and that was partly because no one knew what the World Trade Centers were. When we went back in side, all the teachers were crying. An anouncement was made that they shouldn't turn on the TV's. When I went to the band room, the TV was on, and I found out that what the bus driver said was true. I'll always remember that the school was to afraid to tell us about the worst event to happen in our lives.

I did fly an American flag after Sept. 11, but not because my spirit of patriotism was stronger than ever. I flew one because everyone else on the street was. I feel that you should always feel patriotic and proud of your country, not just because something terribls happened.
