911DA Story: Story

I was at school on September 11th.At the end of the day,everyone was talking about bombing.I didnt understand.When I got home, I was with my neighbors.They said that a plane had crashed into a buildin g in New York.That night, I finally understood what was happeningwhile I was watching the planes crash into the Twin Towers on television.While I was watching what was happening,i thought that nobody had died,but then i realized how many people died and i felt so bad.This is the worst thing that could have ever happend.

My life has not changed much since September 11th, but I am afraid that this will happen again.i am afraid because i have friends and family in distant places.I am not only afraid for people I know, but nobody deserves to die.

I think the display of bravery should be remembered. Everyone from everywhere was helping out. People that hated eachother were getting together to help. People were reuniting to remember. Everyone started to appreciate the fact that they were alive.
