Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: September 11 started out a normal day for all of us at Barker Central School. It was a beautiful sunny day, definitely not the type of day that anyone would expect tragedy to occur. I had gotten up that morning not even thinking about my day. I got on the bus and went to school just like every day not a care in the world. At school everything seemed to be normal but it wasn't it was like America was sitting on a time bomb that was about to be detonated. Third period, chorus was when I first realized what was happening. When I walked into the classroom my teacher asked if I had heard what was going on. When I said that I didn't he then directed my attention to the TV. I sank into a seat by my best friend and focused on the TV. I watched the replays of planes hitting two buildings then as one of the two buildings collapsed. It took me a few minutes to place the two buildings. When I finally understood it was the World Trade Centers I was shocked. Terrorists had attacked America, not just America but New York State. The state that I live in! Through out the day more stories spilled in about another plane hitting the pentagon and then the rumor about a car bomb. I was horrified to think that some terrorist could get through our security and kill innocent people. My life changed that day. I have always been patriotic and this event just made me more so, but it disgusted me to think that it would take a tragedy such as this to make people realize what their country means to them. America has many rights that other countries could never even dream about. Not to long ago immigrants would call America the land of opportunity. President Bush has the right idea when he said that America would not fall only get stronger. Americans have pride in their country and no one can ever take that away, not the British in 1776, not when our country was divided and definitely not some Arab terrorists.
