Hi my name is Nicole I am 15 yrs. old and I live in Roundrock Tx. It is shocking on how many people we lost on Sep 11th. So many people lost their lives over cruel terrorism.I can recall that day that I found out about it. It started out as a normal day of getting ready for school. Once I got to school I found out about it when the teacher allowed us to watch it on t.v. it was the scariest thing I had ever seen. At first I was confused and didn't know what was going on until my teacher explained it to me. While she was tellin me this my first thought was "Who
? and why would anybody wanna do this?"That day I was really sad and mad. I didnt know why anybody would wanna hurt so many people. The whole day I thought about all those peope in New York and about my family. I couldnt wait to get home to see them. When I got home my parents explained more to me about what happened.It amazes me sooo much that at our deepest time of need America pulled together as a nation and supported New York. Sep. 11th has brought our nation closer and forever we will stay that way. Today i pay my respect to all those out there who had a family friend or a loved one in Sep. 11th. and out to anyone who had a help in supporting our nation.
