Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: Semptember 11 September 11th was a national tragedy. It happened when I was in school. Some people had actually heard the news. They talked about the Twin Towers falling. When I got home that day and turned on the television, all that I could see were the two buildings gettting hit by the planes. That day was very scary because my uncle workedacross the street from the World Trade Center. Luckily, he was able to get away before the two towers fell down. The next day, he sent me an e-mail aboutwhat had happened to the World Trade Center. He said that it looked like a snowstorm. When hegot home on September 11th, he needed to take a shower for at least an hour to wash all of he ash and debris off. I thought that the ash covered streetswere kind of funny looking, but hte fact that all of that was from two buildingswas scary. The acts of September 11th were scary for anybody living in the United States of America. It taught us that lives can be taken in a split second and to cherish life because it only lasts for a short time. I learned that you need to enjoy life while it lasts. The fact that nobody thought of this before, is just as big a tragedy a the planes hitting the two towers. Many things shouldbe remembered because of September 11th. We need to rememberto be kind to everyone. People also should remember to treat people the way you want to be treated. You also need to remember that life can't be taken for granted and people should live their lives however thay want to. Those and many other thingsneed to be remembered about that day so everyonecan enjoy life.
