Remembering 9/11

I want a take a minute to talk about a serious subject...9/11. Today is exactly 8 years since this tragic event changed the world. It's a very emotional day, a day that I wish never happened. But today is also a day where we honor those who were killed during 9/11 and remember them and their families. Now during school today, US/HIS, the teacher showed us this video and it opened up showing the faces of the people that died. One specific part that broke my heart was when they played an audio tape of a phone call from a person that was on the plane, they also played people screaming and saying "oh my god!" and you can hear sirens in the back, but this one was just heartbreaking, unforutantley you couldn't really hear the woman because their was so much noise in the background but she kept saying, "I love you, I love you, I love you," because I mean...sad to say...i'm sure she already knew she wouldn't make it. It made me really think...here I am safe and alive and doing many things during these eight years...and here I am seeing the faces of these people you know...somebodys mother, father, sister, brother, somebodys child that ...isn't here anymore...and there were even children on the planes like i'm crying as i'm typing this.


I was very angry this morning because we do our annoucements at school every morning and I thought we were going to have a moment of silence at 8:45 or anytime in general and...we didn't...I found that disrespectful, each year we had a moment of silence and today we didn't which I believed was stupid...but besides that.

I want to go back to sepetember 11th 2001 and I have no idea why...but...it was as if someone reached into my head and took away my memory of that day...I don't remember anything...I don't remember being in school, I don't know what happened it's like something that I should remember...and I can't tell you anything because I just simply..forgot...the only thing I remember is about..3 days later they showed the collapse on TV and just crying my eyes out but I don't remember anything from the actual day...which I find weird


America has become afraid, and If you say you're not afraid you're a liar. This goes to show you, as cliche as it sounds, you just never know...you never know what is going to happen. I have the privillage to say that I didn't know anyone that died from 9/11 but that doesn't mean that I will never experience something just as bad. You honestly never know what will happen and sad to say this can happen again. Thats why people really need to appreciate the loved ones around them and live life to the fullest because nobody had no idea that this was going to happen. You wake up, go to work, turn the TV on and out of no where two planes hit the Twin Towers killing alot of people. It's a very serious matter and very scary so I don't blame the airports for getting tighter with security and I don't blame schools for scanning students everyday, I don't blame when someone says a terrorist joke like, "I'm gonna blow up the school just so we don't have to go anymore," very seriously because THIS ISN'T A JOKE. People were so lost around the world that schools went into lockdown, people couldn't leave their offices because nobody knew where they were going to hit next...maybe these terrorist would of went after schools next...it's so scary not knowing what isn't going to happen. So please, take life seriously and live it and love those around you and admit when you're wrong and apologize for it and keep the peace because that person might not be there tomorrow...or you might not even be there tomorrow.


I want to stop there and post a video and If we can just take a moment of silence and think of those who lost loved ones that day and those who died...and honor them...
