911DA Story: Story

At this time we are doing something at our school (hahnville High school)to remember the september 11th attack and all the people and loved ones that were lost in this horrible accedent. we were assined to write an essay and i really brought out what i thought about what was going on anThe Twin Towers are Falling Down

We?ve all heard the nursery rhyme London Bridge is falling down, but until September 11th we had never heard about he world trade center completely crumbling down to the ground. Well now we know that the world trade center has fell down and we have to go on living our lives knowing this each and every day. I never thought that one person could bring down a country like the terrorists have done to the United States. We have all suffered in many ways from this horrible tragedy and there is no way of forgetting what has happened. There is no way of forgetting the people that were lost and injured in this horrible tragedy; they will be in our hearts forever. I feel for the people that have lost love ones and even though I cannot understand what it is like I wish it could all go away. This has changed my life also in a way that I cannot imagine. I am not that old and not that wise, but wise enough to know when my life has been changed forever. I have learned that no madder what our country has went through we will always stand tall and keep our heads up high. I understand know that I have to live my life to the fullest and saver every moment. You never know, this moment might be our last. As we go on with life we need to understand that traumatizing things will happen and we just need to stand up for each other and work through our problems with a positive attitude and never give up and let yourself fade away. Many people said that things like this would not effect them in any way but now that it has happened their lives, like everyone else?s, has been changed forever. Many people have died and have risked their lives to save the people that were drifting away minute by minute under the wreckage. Many of us do not understand what has happened and can just put it behind us but many people have to deal with this every single day. No one ever thinks that this could happen to them, but come to reality, it can. The terrorist might have brought down our buildings but it will not bring down our souls.
