911DA Story: Story
I know that my submission is a little late, but my story is still in the making. Here it is.
I was in first block, like every other day. When I got to seconed block, my sister came to me crying. I thought someone had been picking on her again. She told me that terrist had attacked the WTC. I couldnt belive her. I turned on the TV and saw our buildings on fire. I saw firefighters racing toward the center of the attacks. Our class did nothing but watched CNN. I thought of my father who was a vol. firefighter. I thought of my-self, a firefighter to be. I watched the first tower collapse and burts into tears. I couldnt hold back. Those people where my brothers, my fellow Americans and my family. This was all i remeber till i got home. I walked into my home in my sisters arms and saw my Father on his knees crying. We cryed for almost 3 hours. Our fellow firefighters(friends) gave their lives because some coward dosnt like our country. I saw the President talk that night. I cryed one last time. My brother enlisted to the Army the next day, and joined the fire dept. one week later(6 months early).
I refuse to sit on my butt and cry if anything like this ever happens again. I am now getting ready to graduate high school, and go full-time firefighter. Thank you for reading my story.
