I woke up and went to my friends house that morning to get a ride for school. The news was on every channel and everybody was freaking out and i didnt get it and i didnt know what was going on. i was scared for whatever it was. i didnt actually really know what was going on until school started because my mom was too freaked out and getting ready for work to explain to me what was going on. my first period class is history and as soon as i walked in the door, my teacher already had it on, we watched it the whole period and the rest of the week. so then finally i found out and realized what was going on because i had no idea. thats all we did at school was talk about and watch 9/11 on the news. i was very shocked.

yes my life changed. it changed that minute. i was so terrified for the next few months. i am terrified of death and i always have been as a kid. when this happened i was so scared i started crying because i didnt know what was going to happen next. everytime i heard i plane, i was frantic. i was so scared. i asked my parents and my boyfriend constantly "Are we going to die" kind of questions. Then i found out that one of my great aunts works in one of the Twin Towers. i was scared for her too. we didnt know if she was alive or not until the next day. she was safe and got out of there quickly.

everything. how that hurt our country and everybody in it. what it did to everything and how so many things in the world are differnt and how things have changed and they will never be the same.

yes we had like 5 or 6 or maybe even 10 american flags up and everything was decorated. my feelings are stronger now of course since something so tragic has happened.
