NMAH Story NMAH Story: Story How did you witness history on September 11th? Share your experience. NMAH Story: Life Changed Has your life changed because of September 11, 2001? If so, tell us how. For me, witnessing and expierencing September 11th were completly different. I witnessed the events from my third row seat in Chemestry Class. We were reviewing for a test when my teacher's phone rang, which was nothing unusual. She answered it and almost imediatly reached for the t.v. remote and turned on the news, saying "What happend to the towers?" My entire class watched quietly as the story began to unfold. We watched footage of the burning tower, not fully understanding what was happening. We saw the murders of thousands of people, not knowing how greatly it would eventually effect us. Our school was very fortunate not to have any dirrect connection to anyone who died that day. There was a slight sense of mourning, though not much had changed in our small comunity. Most people just went on with their lives as normal, occasionally turning on the news to see updates. The following week we expierienced the pain of these events and the reality of death became very real to us. Two of my fellow classmates died in a horrific car accident. That incident brought true mourning to our school. For me, personally, losing my friends gave me a glimpse of the pain that people accross America were feeling. My compassion for our beautiful country grew tenfold that day, as did my appriciation for everyday. NMAH Story: Remembered What do you think should be remembered about September 11th?
