NMAH Story NMAH Story: Story How did you witness history on September 11th? Share your experience. On September 11th my sophomore english class was in our school lbrary researching topics in order to write a paper. There is always a small television in the librarian's office tuned to CNN or some other news network. One of my classmates went into her office to ask her a question and saw what was happening. Soon there were 26 people jammed into a tiny office just watching the television in horror. We then saw the second plane hit the towers. We also saw the Pentagon with the smoke billowing out. Stunned silence overcame the room as Tower 1 and Tower 2 collapsed. For the rest of the day our entire class watched bits and pieces of the news hoping to understand why. NMAH Story: Life Changed Has your life changed because of September 11, 2001? If so, tell us how. My life has definately changed because of September 11, 2001. I was shocked, angry and confused. My life perspective was given a complete turn around. I had been focused on what was best for me, now I want to help. I wanted to help but I didn't know what to do, the only thing I could do was pray. I resolved to become part of the people who help to protect America by doing my part. Many peoples lives changed on September 11th, mine is only one small part. I used to think that America is a great country because we are free, but now I know that we are a great country because we can protect that freedom.
