Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: On September 11th, I was at school going to woods class. When I got there, the television was on and my entire class was just standing there, staring at the TV, and watching the planes go through the towers. After a little while, we had to go to a bus evacuation. The bus drivers told us that planes had flown into the World Trade Centers, and that they were not there anymore. He also told us that the planes were hijacked. Throughout the whole day, I was scared. When I went home, I turned on the television and watched it until I went to sleep. It was very scary because, when I was watching the news, they would show people jumping from the windows and you could also see debris falling everywhere until both towers were gone. It was the scariest thing I have ever seen because it was happening in real life. It wasn't fake. My life has changed since September 11th. Now I actually know what it truly means to be patriotic and loving to our country. Before September 11th, I never thought something like that could ever happen and I definitely didn't expect it to. I never thought just a few people could do so much damage to a country, but now I know that just one person can do all that damage. I think a lot of things should be remembered about September 11th. We should remember all the innocent people that died in the buildings and on the planes. The firefighters should definitely be remembered because they risked their lives going up into the Towers to get people out. Also, all the volunteers that helped out and everyone that contributed to help get people out and to help clean up should be remembered. The Twin Towers will always be remembered and all the families who lost people close to them should always be remembered too.
