The Impact of 9-11
September 11th is a day that no one will ever forget. It will be imprinted in all our minds and all our hearts from now until forever. That tragic day has left a
mark on the whole country if not the whole world. That day will be remembered as the day the Twin Towers and the Pentagon were attacked by two high-jacked passenger planes. The day that the terrorists finally found their way into our own airplanes. And in a few hours would run them into our own buildings and change our lives forever. The day of tragedy and horror.
The 9-11 incidents will not be forgotten. It has changed the way many people think including my friends, my family and I. I think that everyone now has a little more pride because they are an American. I know now what it means to be an American. My friends and I have sent in money for the victims and their families on 9-11 . When I got home the day it happened, our whole family sat and watched the horrifying scenes play back on the T.V. over and over again. It made me angry and I found out the next day in school that a lot of people were. It has affected my entire generation and we will always remember that day.
9-11 brought us as a nation together and the whole nation united to help one another. But I still think it is a little sad that it had to come to that. That terrible tragedy was the thing that united our Nation. I?ve seen many people now showing their pride as an American. I?ve seen so many flags and the words ?God Bless America? written everywhere. It is really nice to see and to think that if you needed something someone would be there for you. America has changed so much. And the battle against terrorists who terrorize America will never be over.
My life has changed since 9-11. Everyday I wake up having a little more appreciation for my country. I think about the incidents everyday. There is no way you can get the scenes out of your head when you see two planes running
into the Twin Towers and thinking there are so many innocent people inside. It has changed my life because it makes me think of all the times when I complain about the little things in life. If I lose something it?s not that big of a deal anymore. It?s not some sort of tragedy. 9-11 was.
9-11 will forever be in my mind. One day when my children or my grandchildren ask me what happened that day I?ll probably be able to tell them exactly where I was (math class) what I was doing and what happened when I got
home. I will always remember and so will the rest of the world. 9-11 will live on through history and generations will come to learn about that horrifying day.
