911DA Story: Story

On september 11th , I arrived at school at school late . I can remmber going in to my math class . My friend Anna didnt seem her herslef so I asked her what was wrong. She began to tell me about the planes crashing into the Twin towers . I didnt really understand what was going on , but through out the day I learned more . When I got home from school that day. I turned on the T.V and saw what was really happeing , I still didnt believe something like this had happend . It seemed so unreal . Later that night It began to hit me . I realized how big this was , and how many people died . it was sad to think about the people that lost theris family and friends

since september 11th my life has change alot . I realized how much my friends and family ment to me .I now vaule things i never use to .It also made me spend more time with my family beacause some day you could just wake up and not have them any more I try not to fight with them any more . because like i said they are not always going to be around .People should learn from this tragedy and spend the time you have left with the people you care about most.

I think that everything should be remmber . Everything was very sad but it was a proud day day to. Just that fact that this happend is horrible . It was a proud day for us beacuase almost everybody came together that and wworked through this hanf and hand .On this day ,people seemed to become closer and more caring for others.People started to donate food, money, Etc to the familys that lost friends and family . People come together and started fund raisers for the people that lost family or friends that day .Overall,September 11th made America
