I walked into my little one room classroom school early that Tuesday morning. Within ten steps of entering, a classmate told me that the twin towers fell. I heard him rather clearly but the enormity of it did not sink in right away. My mind filled with questions of why, how, and when?
We watched the news for about half of the school day, and when I got home, I watched the news. I never watched so much news in my life! I was 12 years old and I didn't realize what that meant for America.
What I remember the most about that time, was that for the next couple of months, every one everywhere across the States called upon God. They saw for just a moment how precious life is, and they wanted to better theirs. I never saw America so united before.
When we forget the past, we can't make much of the future. I pray America will never forget what happened to her. It is these troubling, sad times that cause us to lean upon one another and unite us. Remembering 9/11 is remembering what we stand for - freedom. We are the United States, and so, let us remain.

Wonderful thoughts and memories. You have your prompt numbers switched on your entries. Please fix this. I would like to put your blog on the classroom bulliten board, so if you would proofread and print it out for me by Monday, September 24, 2007 I would much appreciate it.
Ms. Chi

I enjoyed reading that, I was in 7th grade when the twin towers happened in my little SDA school, we didn't have math class or basketball and just stayed in and watched the news, it made me cry when I saw it. we all said the pledge of allegence and prayed for our country.
I love the fact that your such a patriotic american girl. through and through
