Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I witnessed history on September 11th. This day was extremly sad. I first found out what had happened when I was attending a bus evacuation drill. The bus driver was listening to the radio when I overheard him tell my teacher what he had heard on the radio. Two planes had crashed into the World Trade Center. At that time, I did not know how serious the attack had been. When we went back to out homeroom, we turned on the TV and watched replays of the planes crashing into the World Trade Center over and over again. We were only allowed to watch it for a few minutes because my teacher was already getting teary-eyed, and she did not want her students to get distracted from their work. However, after watching those few minutes of the news, I was already distracted. As soon as I got home I turned on the TV and had no trouble finding news on the terrorist attacks beacuse it was on almost every channel. I watched the news until I could not watch it anymore. My life, as have lives of most Americans, has changed since the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. I am much more cautious and I do not enjoy going on planes as much as I used to. I also learned that I should live my life to the fullest because now I am aware that it could end any second. Although that was a tragic day, not all bad has come from it. Many more Americans have gained pride in their country. I think as a country we are much closer together and more united. I think everything from September 11th should be remembered. If we forget a part of that day, a huge part f our history would also be forgotten. Many people's lives were taken on that day, they should always be remembered. All of the firefighters, police men, and volunteers should never be forgotten for their heroic deeds. I know I will never forget anything from September 11th because if I did a part of my life would be missing.
