Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: How did you witness history on september 11th? When i first witnessed what happened on September 11th, i had just got out of school. I walked to my after school babysitting job. As usaul, the girl i watched wouldnt be there for an hour. I flipped on the television and saw a building on fire. I thought nothing of it, but when i changed the channel again it was still on. For the first time i decided to watch the news. When i heard what had happened , i only felt a little scared. I knew it was bad bye the tone in the reporters voice. Just then , the 6 year old i babay sat for walked in. She asked me what had happenend,and i tried my best to explain it in a way she could understand. Then she said "is it going to happen again" and it made me actually think. What if it did happen again somewhere where i had family or somewhere closer to me like in boston. Has your life changed since september 11th? The most important thing i learned about septemeber 11th was to appreciate things. Like family, if they are there today, who knows if the will be there tommorow? Also appreciate everyday. Live it like your last, because you dont know it might be. Lastly appreciate the fact you are alive today after september 11th, there are people out there who now longer have a father or a mother or a grandparent. Who are just under the age of 8. What do you think should be remembered about september 11th? What i think should be remembered about september 11th are a few things. Number how are nation didnt fall apart, but got closer together. We didnt react in complete panic but instead we all united to help one another. Another thing is volunteers from every where were helping one another like complete strangers. They risked there lives to help one another. Lastly what i think should be rememebred is the firefighters and policemen who also risked there lives to save other people. Many of them died bye just going in the building to find survivors, and helping people. And what i think is most important is to remember all that died, and there families who now wake up in the morning and think they arent there anymore and wont be again.
