            <text>I have family that worked at the world trade center. 
My uncle's and some cousin's. And I was woken up to this.
My alarm was set to the radio to wake me up, and the first
thing I heard when I woke up was, "they are calling it a 
terrorist attack" I ran to the living room and turned on 
the TV that's when I saw the second plane hit the tower. I just
fell to the couch. I couldn't believe what I was seeing.
I called my family on the East Coast right away! They 
told my that my uncle and cousins had already gone into 
work that day. And they were waiting to see if the were 
okay. My mother told me I still had to go to school that
day. And that she would sit by the phone for my aunt's 
to call. I was in shock. I could not do anything at school.
I spent most of the day in the auditorium with the rest 
of the students that could not handle what was going on.
when the school got a call from my mother and told me that
my uncle was okay but they were still looking for my cousins.
I cried because my uncle was okay but also that we didn't 
know if my cousins were okay. I don't think I slept at all
that night. My economics teacher decided to show us a video
of the news reports that were on that night.  I don't think
any of us were ready to see that. Most of the girls were in
tears by the first few minutes of the videos. And you could
hear a few of the guys crying a tear too. Well one year
later my cousin is still missing. I can't really understand
why this has happened my cousin was a good guy. He was going
to be married in a few weeks. September 28th, that was the
date. Now his fianc?e is part of the family. But not in the
way we had hoped. My aunt feels she family anyway. Even if
she doesn't have a ring on her finger. She's till my cousin
too. I think we all need to understand that this was done
out of anger and hate. We need to take out what has done this
to us. The terrorists need to stop. What I would like to do
is. Get all of them in a room and show them what the have done
the families they have destroyed! And ask them this. How would
you feel if some killed you family because they didn't like
the way your government worked! How would you feel if you 
didn't know if your family was live or dead because someone
used them to kill thousands of others! But I don't know if 
that would work. I don't think they would care. And that's
what kills me. They don't care.
