Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: The Day That Changed My Life September 11, 2001 was the most tragic day of my life. It has impacted my family, friends, and generation. Since 9/11, my respect for America and the life I have, has changed immensely, with many other people. When the first attack happened, I was at school, and I remember an announcement came on saying there had been an attack. My teacher turned on the T.V. and there I saw it- a plane flying directly into one of the Twin Towers. It made me sick to think there were thousands of innocent people in there not knowing where to go and if they?d make it out alive. My teacher let everyone call home, and when it was my turn, my Mom picked up the phone. She started crying and I wanted to cry too. She and my Dad were impacted so much by Sept. 11 because my Dad?s job is being a pilot. He had just retired from the United States Navy. Because of his career, my entire family always had a deep respect for America, but now it is even deeper. My friends have also changed. Some of them ?get? how horrible it was, but others don?t care as much as they should. We?ve all become more patriotic and respectful to our country. Also, we?re more careful with what we say. Today, September 11, 2002, our school, to show our spirit, wore red, white, and blue. It was amazing to see how many of us showed our pride by wearing it. Also, our Student Council planted New York?s state tree in our front schoolyard. Around it is sandstone, from Shanksville, Pennsylvania, where one of the planes crashed, and they?re in the shape of the Pentagon. It shows how much we?ve matured and developed over the past year. My generation, I think, has been affected the most. We all saw what happened and we will never forget the plane crashing in Shanksville. We will never forget the Pentagon burning. We will never forget when the other plane flew straight into one of the towers. And we certainly won?t forget the feeling and sight of World Trade Center collapsing to the streets of New York City. As you can see, we?ve all been affected as a country and will always stick together as ONE! As the one-year anniversary comes and goes, the people who suffered from September 11, 2001, will always be in our hearts.
