I was at school, in Social Studies class. My teacher had the T.V. on, and we were watching it, not really knowing what had happened.This was a short time after the towers had collapsed.We saw the Pentagon, and the crying started up.It was at that time,I didn't really feel safe, anymore.

On september 11th no one had any warning of what a day it would be. I was sitting in my second period class witch was French and our principle had come on the intercom and had said that the world trade buildings had been bombed i don't think anyone really knew what this had meant, or the damage that was really done. she had told everyone to remain calm and if anyone's relatives had worked there that they were to immediately report to the office. it was a shocker. i remember looking out the window of the class and imagining a plane coming towards it. after school i ran to my mothers place and turned on the television to see what had really happened
(( teachers had been told that we were not aloud to watch t.v. ))
about 3 days later i had a girl in my first period class who's father had been trained to identify people by their bones. that's when it really hit me about how big this was. someone had taken away our freedom for no reason at all. it discusts me.

Sept. 11th, 2001...what can you say? It's all emotions. Tears, heartache, feeling for the families that have lost their sons, daughters, mothers and fathers...etc. On that day, I was in the daycare that I work at, I remember that we had a radio on and when it came across...we just froze. Turned on a tv..and watched as the Towers fell. I felt the tears well up and wasn't ashamed that I was crying for people that I didn't even know. The idea that someone could be so cruel and malicious was beyond me. I still can't understand how someone could have enough hatred to destroy the lives of these poor souls and that of their families. Being a mother of 3, all that I could think about was those poor children and mothers...My heart goes out to the families and remember America...Old Glory....HER COLORS NEVER RUN!!!!

September 11th, 2001... I was in my biology class, talking to my best friend about my sister's wedding shower the following weekend (sep.15th)and another teacher told my teacher to turn on the t.v. When he did, everyone in the room went silent. And my heart sank to the bottom of the floor. I have always wanted to live in New York City, it is my dream place. And it always will be. That day changed my life in so many ways... at first I wanted to scream and cry in sorrow and pain, then I wanted to put my fist threw the wall, and then I began to get worried for my older sister and my uncle... My uncle worked in Washington D.C., and was on his way to work... about a block away from the Pentagon. And my sister lives in Chicago, so i was worried that maybe it would also be hit... thank god it was not. September 11th made me realize how little time we all have on earth, and how petty,stupid arguments and complaints are just not worth it. We should spend our time loving one another, not hating. I do not hate the Taliban, I hate what they stand for, but I do not hate them. If you have hate like that in your heart, then you can never truley be happy and at peace. And despite everything, I am still going to New York City, and I am still going to live in that rat-infested apartment that I have always dreamed of, because noone can take away our dreams.

I was in my car listening to "Howard Stern".I had dropped my daughter off at school and was on my way home.When I watched everything on TV unfold I was just sick with saddness,fear,hatetred and this horrible feeling of being powerless.By 11:30 am.I had all three of my children close by.It was very hard trying to explain something I did not understand myself.Now as some time has past, our fears are gone and our anger has turned into pure "PATRIOTISM".Every evening before I sleep I think of all that was lost that day and it makes me realize over and over how much my world and every thing and everyone arond me means to me,and how I do appreciate my every waking moment.
