I remember that I was in Mr.Brown's class for math. The principal made an announcement over the intercom. He said that a plane had crashed into one of the Trade Towers. We turned on the TV and watched in quiet disbelief. All throughout math class, we watched the horrible terrorism that had been going on that morning. I did not believe what I was seeing at first, but as we were shown more and more replays, it all seemed less like a dream. We were all givin a dose of the real world. What was going on outside of East Grand Rapids, Michigan. It hit us like a ton of bricks. Us, little 6th graders took it all in as well as we could. Though many will not want to relive 9/11, it is an event in history no one will forget.

September 11th has indeed changed my life. I have become more aware of my surroundings. Of what could and what has happened. I must not take life for granted. I understand that life is not always a place where nothing wrong can happen.

I think the people should be remembered. The police, firefighters, and army troops should be recognized for their patriatism, courage, and love.
