I witnessed September 11th in my homeroom at the Marlborough Middle School. I remember one of my friend's coming up to me in the hallway and telling me what had happened, but I didn't believe him. He had told me that two planes that were hijacked crahed into the World Trade Center. But then I started to see some of the teachers turning to the news channel to see what was going on. After that, some of the teachers were just taking it easy on the classes and trying not to get angry with students. I was starting to feel a little sad after that, and I just reflected on my actions towards the other kids and started to appreciate my friends more. When I went home, I saw the news and my parents also told me about it, and i started to feel more sad after that.
My life definitely has changed because of September 11th. My feelings towards other people have changed like to my friends and family. I started to love and appreciate more people around me, especially people close to me. I started to respect more people and not just take my friends and family for granted. I also noticed that I should appreciate the world more and not trash it or pollute the streets and waters. I have become a better person now and started to be more respectful and appreciative.
There are many different things that I think should be remembered about September, 11th. One thing I think should remembered is the fact that Osama bin Laden was the one who planned all this. I think we should remember all the firefighters who tried to save other peoples lives by risking theirs and honor them for their support. The other thing I think should be remembered is all the people who were in the World Trade Center and all the people in the planes who lost their lives because of this tradgedy.
