911DA Story: Story




How I witnessed history on the 11th of September was looked at as a tragic to me. I didn't really know much of what happened until I got to school were then my teacher explained to me what happened. She had explained to me that two planes crashed into the World Trade Center a.k.a Twin Towers. She also that many people had lost there lives and some of her family was in the one of the two towers.I was in such shock when I had heard the news and scared at the moment more than I had ever been in my life. When i had got home from school I turned the television on to watch and on every channel I saw the president having a little ceremony
for this very sad and special day. A question that I have to ask is why? Why did the terrorists have to kill so many innocent people?

My life has not really changed but has somewhat changed. The way that I think has changed because now I think a lot more about history than I ever did in my life.My life has also changed because I wasn't as afraid to go on an airplane.

What I think should be most remembered about September 11th is everything. I don't just think that only one thing should be remembered because just t he fact that this happened is important. All historyshould be remembered and kept in mind.

In conclusion September 11th will never be forgotten. So keep in mind history is gone but never forgotten and so is September 11th.
