NMAH Story: Story

I woke up early that morning to begin getting ready for school. As i was in the shower my mother kinocked on the bathroom door to tell me that i had to get out and come and see what was happening. As i opened the door i walked into my parents bedroom where my Mother, Uncle and one of my sisters was sitting. I knew something was terriably wrong by the sound of my mother's voice. I asked what was so wrong and all my mother could do was point at the Television. As soon as i looked up i saw the second plane hit. My thoughts were completely drained from my head. What was i supposed to say or think. It seemed as though it was a big dream. Like it was a simulation. In what type of mind state had that pilot been in to that. Then the newbroadcaster came on and narrorated the whole event. I was shocked. I had heard stories of how people went through with hate crimes but never did i actually imagen. I never thought that a person could have so much hate to have 3,000 people fall at their right hand. That day at school i remember it being so hard to bear. every class room had a T.v. on watching the updates and the tapes. i thikn that day i learned the most incredible lession i will every learn in school or in my life time. People don't understand the mercy of god until you whitness the cruel intent of a persons actions. Not only did the worse event happen on September 11 th but also the most amazing, The uniting of all kinds of people in America to come together and save the lives thay can.

NMAH Story: Life Changed

My life has changed. Not as much as some that have had loses and were right in the heart of it all, but i did learn the biggest moral. I now take things from a different perspective. Life can be disrupted or taken away in a very instant, live as u wish, strive for your goals, and never let some one change your mind about your beliefs. People died that day doing what they love and what they wanted. Some where acheiving what they thought was never possible. Thank God he has the heart of a savior, he is weeping for the lost, praising for the surviors, and forgiving the sinners ( no matter who they are, what they believe, or what that have done).

NMAH Story: Remembered

No matter the heart ache we have suffered or been through, we have still looked to god for guidance and we have stuck together to protect ourselves. We have lost 3,000 loved ones and still have we been more powerful and with more strength than ever before.

NMAH Story: Flag

My family and i have had the flag up every morning. When i see the flag now being hung and flown over every one's house or a building i think of the people and the struggle we have been through. It stands for our strength and iur heart and our family dedication that America has accomplished and shown.
