I was sitting in the middle of English class when an older student came running into the classroom and asked to turn on the T.V. Then, my teacher explained to us what was going on, and turned on the T.V. We watched news for most of my classes in school to see what was all happening. I watched on live news as the other towers collapsed. I remember thinking how awful it was, and it seemed like it wasn't even happening in real life. It was hard for me to understand how something like that could just happen, and how so many innocent people could just get killed like that. It was a very emotional day at my school, and at home. After school some friends and I got together and watched the news for the rest of the night. It's an experience I'll always remember, with every single detail of the story.

It has changed some, but not in any way that my whole entire life is completely different. A few small things, like caring more about the country, and being a little more scared to fly.

I think all of the people who died on September 11th should be remember forever. They were innocent people, and had no idea that they were going to die that day just from doing their jobs. I also think the firefighters shoujld always be remembered and appreciated very much for all that they did.

My parents put up an American flag after September 11th at my house. I think that the American flag became more important to me and many other Americans after that day. Because some people, like me, weren't really interested in being so patriotic, or really understanding what the flag meant. And now Americans really came together and I definitely started to understand more what the flag meant and stood for.
