During my morning math class the news came in the form of a rumor until this horrid rumor was made fact by our staff over the speaker. My first reaction was shock and disbelief, like maybe it was an accident or if it had only occured in my mind and wasn't real. I believed this until I witnessed with my own eyes the horrible events of that day on T.V. with hundreds of my classmates and friends. Then i felt sorrow for the thousands of innocent lives, then fear for my Father who works near the Pentagon. Gladly I say he was okay along with the rest of my family and friends, and though I did not know anyone personally who was involved in the attacks I still share in their pain and pray for their health and reformation.

I think in a way all of our lives have changed. Personally my life has been affected by the amounts of security and the measures taken by the government both nationally and internationally.

First and foremost those lives of innocent Americans and the bravery of the citizens all over the nation that helped in the wake of the attacks.

I did fly an american flag and everytime i put on my football helmet there is a big flag that resides on the back to show my love and pride of this great nation.
