On september 11 I thought it was just an ordinary day , i went to my two encore classes which were orchastra and computer not knowing the united states was under attack. I walked into my history class were my teacher was starring at the television screen, I knew something was wrong by the look in his face and when I sat down and began to watch it myself I was stunned america had been attacked on it's own soil. I sat there just wondering did I know anyone? Are people hurt? When did this start? so many questions went through my head and then it happened both buildings fell, I couldn't do anything and I felt so worried and i wanted to help everyone I wanted to get them out of the buliding but I couldn't I was watching people die on national television. A horrible feeling swept through my body and all I could think of were all of the people , and the peoples family. what happened to america that morning was a tragic and suprizing thing, It was as if america woke up and in a generals words " i think we woke up a sleeping giant." America yearns for all those who were lost but we know God will take care of them and they are looking down on us right now. So as the world turns we'll fight back.

Ever since september 11 I have felt that I am more important to my country and that everyone makes our nation great not just the goverenment. I didn't know anyone who died in Ground Zero but it still effected me becasue america is a family. I go to church a lot more maybe a fear of dieing and knowing where I'll go or maybe not maybe it was just I felt more speritual after the event. I Know so many were effected by this and I know we will heal as a country , "one nation under god."

I think the loss was the people not the building , I mean sure the building was big and it was like a monument but there were not many lost in the ash and depri. I think that we should all remeber that america is a family and that people everywhere are effected by what goes on in your life and your effected by there's. Don't worry about what is to come we have a great goverenment and a awesome military they'll stick behind us just be the best that you can and appriciate how they take care of us.

My family has always hung an american flag , my dad was in the veitnam war and he's really patriotic. My feelings haven't changed about it, it's always been a symbol of our country and it continues to be just that.
