What happened on 9/11 was one of the most horrible days of my life..when i found out i did not think much of it i thought about the buildings being gone..but somehow i didnt make the connection that their were people in those planes and buildings..everyone was talking about it..than i got home..my grandmother and mother were very nervous..they said to me..J.W.'s dad works their i hope hes ok..than i got scared..than my mother said ur grandparents were suppposed to be flying today..i didnt no what to do first than we finally got in touch with J.W. her father was alright he went golfing that day..an angel must have been watching over him..my grnadparent splane didnt take off they were safe..than my grandmother went to church and brought home more bad news..A.L's father was missing and so was MRs. D. I was so worried and for the next day that ws all that was on my mind..than i found out thats A.L's father was alright..he was 15 minutes late for work..thank god..last nite my dance studio ranging from ages 5-16 all stood in a line on rt 23 with candels..their were tears as people honked or gave us thumbs up we noticed how many people and cars had flags..at that moment i realized how united our coutry really is..and that people really aren't that bad..eveyone was amazing..than we heard we were on the radio.we all bawled..and on today mrs d is still missing..but there is still hope.. i have never felt this patriotic..i luv my country..and for that i would stand up and fight right with those fire fighters if i could..rip victims of the american tragedy u will never be forgotten here are some responses from other people on this tragic event For all of those who perished, in the offices busy at work with no idea of what was going to happen, for all those on flights off to see loved ones,And the loved ones who were waiting in the airport to see their mother,father,brother,sister,aunt or uncle..or even friends. To the ones family doesnt know if they are dead or alive. This is to the ones who fought to save lives, even if it was only one they tried, because it was one persons friend or relative. The passanger who suffered being hijacked by these people with horrible ideas.The workers who were trying to make money to feed their familes..now their familys will never see them agian. All the familes that will never see their loved ones agian. Prayers across not just the United States but around the world will be said for the familes, friends, and tradjec victams of this terryfying act.You all will be missed and are all dearly loved by everyone, even the people that you never known because of your suffring. No one will ever know what hell that you have been through. To all the familes and friends of the victams..you will be in our prayers. And be sure and for the familys who have no clue if their family members are dead or alive..stuck somewhere under rubble alive and suffering or perfectly fine. Here I sit, and here I pray that someone will be impacted by my words. I wrote an essay for my advanced lit class on the devastation that came to america on 9-11-01. This was one of my quotes, and trust me, I'm not proud of it. "I keep asking why? Why would God allow something like this to happen? Why does he want his children to suffer? Why did he choose to let tragedy befall us all? There is no good that can come from this. No one is benifitted. I can't stop the tears burning my cheeks, or get rid of the hollow feeling inside. And in the end, I keep asking-why?" I look over my paper, and realize that I have made a very prominent mistake. I turned my back on God, because I thought He turned his back on me. But that couldn't be more wrong. He is closer now than ever. He is wating for the nation to fall into His outstretched arms. I saw how blinded I was by the evil trying so hard to overrun the state of the world. My advice to you is to cling to God, because I couldn't find happiness until I put it all in His hands. Please guys and gals, try hard to just trust Him, becasue it's the best thing anyone can do. God Bless and much love. |
