I was in school the day it had happened. When i was walking to my 2nd hour class of the day i heard some kids yelling to eachother in the hall, "this big building was hit by a plane! were watching it on CNN in my class!" I was just kind of confused. So when i got into my class i saw that one of the World Trade Center towers was hit. I was thinking that it might have been an accident by a plane. But then the news said that the second tower was hit, and that they were thinking it was a terroist act. I got kind of scared when i found out that the Pentagon also got hit and that there was another plane that was hijacked and crashed in another area. I was thinking "are they gunna come here next?" I felt really sad about all the people that were dying and all the familes left without a member. I knew somehow this world wasn't going to be the same.

I have always been kind of less secure since the events happened. It's hard not to be when something this big has happened. I noticed that our country has been more carefull of what they say now also.

I definitely think the heros should be rememberd. All of the firefighters and rescue workers that ran into that collapsing building to save people are the bravest people i've ever heard of. Some of them probably knew they were going to die, but they went in there to try to save the people anyway. That has to be remember forever.

I noticed that things like fourth of July were so much more bigger than they used to be. People everywhere seemed more united.
