Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: On September 11,2001 America was changed forever. Everything started out like a normal day always did. Kids went to school, parents went to work, loved ones kissed each other good-bye but didn?t know it would be the last for some families. That same exact day around 8:46 our lives would be changed forever. Around 9:04 lives would be in danger and again around 10:10 America was changed once and for all. That day affected all of our lives but the one person everyone wants to talk to about what America should do is our President George W. Bush. He was put on the spot for what had happened to America. As a result everybody was changed forever. Our lives, hearts, nation and most of all loved ones. I know I have! America might of changed, but our flag of freedom still stands tall and proud just like all of us. America might lose battles but will win this war on Terrorism. On September 11, 2001 I was at school just like every other school aged kid. It was the beginning of third period when Mr. Kim my science teacher walked in with his eyes full of tears. We knew something was wrong and got all quiet. What Mr. Kim informed us about would stay in my mind forever "two planes slammed into the twin towers in New York." "They are on fire and tower 1 was hit at the top of the building at 436 mph. Tower 2 was hit in the middle of the building at a high rate of speed at 668 mph. The pentagon was hit by a plane going 400 mph. Pennsylvania?s pilot crashed his plane down in an open field at around 500 mph. The passengers prevented the hijackers from getting to their distention. This was the only plane that didn?t hit a building. When I arrived at home after school I was watching the news with my mom and brother. My mom was scared because her brother worked near the pentagon. Luckily her mom called her to tell her that he was okay! Every day the President starts a regular day like us. Except for the past year. George Bush keeps getting questioned on what he will do to get back at the Afghans actions on 9/11. What George Bush wants is Bin Laden found dead or alive! I think our President is doing a great job! He isn?t scared to show the Afghans that America might be scared but will always stand together. They can come back and kill some more lives, which is wrong but will never fall apart! As a result to what has happened to us we are still standing strong. Now, at the age of thirteen I know what happens when nations don?t get along. It?s not fun I?m not scared I?m terrified in some ways! Even though I?m a young teen and I?m not over in Afghanistan doesn?t mean I?m at was. America is at war and we are Americans. A lot of people?s lives have changed. Loved ones were lost. People lost mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters and because of this America has changed. Airports are more concerned about security, people are more careful now. One thing I do know is that I?ve changed and I?m not scared to admit it. I?m scared for my life my family?s, friends and even strangers. We all have to be careful now. You shouldn?t be afraid to admit your scared because a lot of us are! It?s been a very quick year and September11, 2002 has come to reach us all. Families will remember their loved ones that they lost. Others will still be angry at Bin Laden. Some people might forget September 11 and move on with their lives and others will remember the terrible day of their lives. Airports might be longer to go through. Other changes have been made for the safety of the American people. Yes, some things have changed but not America she will always stand proud and tall. Most of all not afraid of our enemies and our freedom. God Bless America! Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
