I had just came out of my roomand started walking into the kitchen. I heard the tv on so i went in the living room and saw the twim towers on tv... on fire. People were running and jumpings out of windows. The building was collapsing. I thought it was a movie until i heard a news reporter. I didn't know what to say. I was just amazed by what was happeneing. All i could think about is all those poor people. Also "why" why, did this have to happen? The whole time i was getting ready for school i was listening and watching everything on how our countrie was changing so quickly.

Yes my life has changed since september 11. A few weeks after the trgic event i started feeling taht i wasn't safe in ameica anymore. After a few months i got over that. Also september 11 has changed my life becuase i see life as a different way like i feel proud to live in america, and also i am more patreotic. Also it seems it had to take a bad event to make epople care more about america. Before 9-11 most people didn;t have flags on there cars or signs in their windows or flags from their house.

I think that most people should remmeber everything that happened. Years from now this is going to be a big event in history. One of the msot important things that should be remmebered is all the strong and brave firefighters that risked their lives to save someone elses. I thin kthat one of the best things about america, is people will alwayz help other people that are in need.

Yes, i did fly an american flag after 9-11. Yes my feelings have changed about the american flag. I used to just think of the falg as ajust an american symbolm and now i think of the flag as a remmeberance of spetember 11. Also it means freedom.
