On September 11th, I was in school. The teachers did not tell me when these events accored. When I found out about the events, I was not mad at my teachers for not telling me because they did not know at the time. My parnts had asked me if my school told me what had happenedon the time of the tragidy. They told me what had happened and they said that two planes flew right into the Twin Towers. I was mad at who did this and sad because of all the people that had been killed and for the people that had lost a loved one. Then we sat down and watched the news on t.v. and saw some horrible things. One of the things i saw was all the smoke and dust smothering everyone. All the people were crying as they were looking for loved ones.


When I went to school, the teachers and other students were talking about what happened. After we talked about it, however, we returned to our normal schedules. We had all our classes and so on. when school was over, I saw that every car had American flagson them. The tragedy also effected sports. Baseball and football were cancelled for a few weeks. We still had Super Bowl 36. Anyway, the U.S. was affected by this tremendously.


My life has not changed since September 11, 2001. I do the same things as I did before 9/11. My life has not yet changed because I have no one that was on any of the planes. However, I still feel sad for the people who has lost their loved ones.


Everything should be remembered about September 11, 2001. We should remember where we were hit. We were hit in the Pentegon, World Trade Center, and a field in Pennsylvania. We should remember who died in the planes, the captains of the planes should be remembered. They should be emembered because theylost their lives because of a terrorist act. They were never able to say good bye to their loved ones. Every little detail should be remembered about 9/11. We should remember what we did after this tragedy that we went to war with Afganistan, and the thing that started the war was the terrorist attacks on the U.S. Also, we should remember how many years it took to find Osama bin Laden, the person behind it all. We should know who helped us in this fight against terrorism. We should remember how we came together as a nation and how long it took to get all the debris from Ground Zero. The way we came together as a nation is that we all put American flags on cars and everyone felt sorry for those who had lost a loved one on any of the planes. We should know who the fire fighters are and what special events we did for 9/11. Some events we did for 9/1 were ceremonies for the people who lost a family member. We put 2 blue lights to represent the Twin Towers. Those are just a couple of things we used to show our love for our country and how much we feel sorry for those lost. These are just some things we should remember for the future to know.
