Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: Two Towers Vanish When the World Trade Centers were hit, I was on a bus evauation drill. The bus driver was the one who informed us that the towers had been hit. The news of this spread like a plauge. At first no one believed it, especially me. The teachers let the students watch it on T.V. Then everyone found out that, not only was one tower hit, but the second tower too. Before I knew that the second plane hit, I thought it was a accident. I could not believe that the towers were hit, and no one could comprehend what theit eyes had seen. The rest of the day was solemn and quiet. We still had to go to class and learn, though no one could consentrate on anything but talking to one another about what had happened. My life has not really changed at all, except for a few minor changes. I understand the U.S. and its histor better. For example, I was never that much into history, but ever since 9/11/02 I've been more interested in the past. Also, I looked back on wars, and documents, and other diffenent things of that sort. I looked back on them because now that I have experienced war and terrorist acts, I now will know what it was like to live during those past times of battle and how damaging it is. The only other thing that has changed is that I feel more united with other citizens. The reason I feel more united is because everyone has remebered that we, the people of the united states are one and should act in unity. They remember that, that is what the U.S.A. is all about. September 11th should be remembered as the day that the U.S. became more united than seperated. 9/11/02 should also be considered the day of a blessing in disguise. This is because everyone understood that all the people in the U.S. are one. We are not separated people, and now everyone can see that we should never stop working together as the United States of America! CJ S.
