Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: Its funny how on days like September 11th we remember the silly things. I can remember what I did that morning before school, and what I ate for breakfast. I can remember what I was wearing and that I was in a fight with one of my friends. I remember going to first period just like any other day. Lucy and I spelled like grease because it we were cooking in foods class. We moved to second period just like any other day and I sat down in my seat. I looked outside the room and noticed that the teachers were running around like crazy in the hallways. I was confused but I just figured they were nuts. Then Mrs. Harlin ran into the room and told my teacher to turn on the tv. We watched as the first tower burned, we saw the flames and the huge amount of smoke coming from the building. My heart skipped a beat and I felt like someone had just punched me in the stomach. All I could think of to do was pray. When I opened my eyes I watched the second plane fly into the second tower. Anger and confusion came over me, I had no idea why anyone could think of doing something so terrible. I don't think I have ever watched the news so much in my life. All night and all the next day I watched, eagerly waiting for news. One year later I sat in school watching the towers fall and tears fell down my face. It is one year later and I am still as confused as I was when it happened. How is it possible to have so much hate in your heart to do something of this magnitude. In the end, after all of the lives that were lost and all of the pain and suffering that we endured I can't help but think about all of the lives that were saved and all of the people who are still living in this world. The months after September 11th were filled with many different emotions. Many people looked to the Lord for help, so I can't help but think that God had this planned so he could bring more people closer to him. Everywhere I looked I saw the American flag, it had new meaning now. God belss America was on every poster and every sign around town, the whole nation was united as one. I just wish that it wouldn't have had to take a tragic event like this to bring all of us together. I look back on the year and the only thing I am sure of is that I am going to live my life to the fullest and not ever take anything for granted, because you never know when it can all be taken away from you. My thoughts and prayers go out to the families and friends of all of the victims. May God bless them.
