On Sep 11,2001 I had been getting ready for school(junior high) when Amy(a nice young christian woman who was one of my staff)came running out saying that the twin towers had been hit. I was so confused because I didn't even know what the twin towers were and what a big effect they had on the buisness world. All I knew was that they were those two towers that were part of the pretty New York scenery. So therefor I was even more confused because she was crying. It was obviouse to her that I was confused so she said "look" turning on the TV. I then saw that each tower had been hit by a plane. She explaned everthing to me and how the terrroristS had done this and how much the twin towers meant. I was then in shock and felt so sorry for the people in those buildings. I automatically said a mental prayer for the people involved. I prayed that God would take this into his hands and take care of all the people in the twin towers. I had hoped that the towers would not fall. Only a couple seconds later I felt as if a clowdy fog swirled into my heart and I melted inside. I hadn't so sad in such a while.

My life hasn't really changed all that much but it will always make me sad about how may people died. It's also sad knowing that almost half of them or maybe more probably didn't have God in their heart or didn't even know him.

We should definitly remember all the people who helped out on September 11,2001, firemen, policemen, doctors, people in the building who helped others get out or stayed there to comfort those knowing that they could not get out and anyone who helped out no matter what it was, esspecially those who have passed away giving up their lives for another.

I have got to say that I actually do look at the flag differently now. It seems to have more meaning to me now. After September 11th I helped put up yellow ribbons in front of my house and I didn't have a car but my grouphome staff put a flag on the car which was pretty neat.
