I woke up and got out of bed. Then my dad told me that the world trade center got hit by an airplane. i was very shocked about it. As we were watching we saw another plane hit the other tower. That was a vert scary site to see. As I was leaving for school, he then told me that the first tower that got hit had fallen down. I didn't know what to think.

After september 11, 2001 i'll admit that I have been a little more racist to middle easterns. It's not right but I've done it anyway. I've been more careful with what I've done afterwards.

I think that the whole thing should be remembered. It was cruel and just wrong, but maybe in same sick way we deserved it. The one thing that should be remembered most though, is that everyone unified together afterwards. Our country became closer than it ever has been before.

Yes i flew the flag that night. Our whole community rallyed together and waved the flag. All the cars were honking, it was just crazy. The flag has been hanging in front of my house ever since. My feelings seem to be stronger about the flag. I'm much more respectful to the flag than i was.
