I witnessed history being made during my second period class. My teacher had the radio playing which I thought was very strange because he usually was up tight about things like that, and that's when i heard what was happening. A plane crashed into the New York twin towers. I was very shocked and i still dont believe what happened. When i walked into my second period class my teacher looked like he was about to cry. None of us knew what was happening. No one knew that history was changing and being made. During third period they made annoucements and the teachers informed us about what was happening. I didnt know what to think or what to do, but i just thought about how this will change everything and everyone.

My life has been changed due to the tragedy of September 11 in many ways. I have learned to appreciate life in new ways and to be thankful that I did not lose anyone close to me that day. My heart goes out to the families and friends that did lose people close to them on that awful day. I also feel for the people that died in the Twin Towers, I can only imagine what their last moments were like. They must have been horrified and shocked. I still dont believe that someone could have done such an awful and horrible thing. I also feel for the people that were in the planes, they knew that bad people hijacked their air plane and they knew they were going to die. I think some of them were more mad that they could not warn people that they were coming and to try and save other people's lives knowing that theirs were going to end. Also my heart goes out to the firefighters that ran into the buildings when everyone else was running out.

I think that the people that were killed should be remembered, and the firefighters. Also I think that we should remember that we are Americans and we should be thankful that we are still alive and well. This is a terrible thing that happened, but it is great that we have come together as a nation to comfort one another and be who we are. Just like the newspaper and television say "WE WILL NEVER FORGET."

Yes, we flew the American flag and we flew it proudly. My feelings about the American flag have not really changed. I still feel proud to fly the American flag and I think that America as a nation should embrace everything in a new propestive and be thankful for everything that we have.
