I will never foget 9/11/01. I was woke up to get ready for my home instructor, and call my 3 year old cousin to wish her a happy birthday which was on 9/11. I went to take a shower, and my asking my mom to call my cousin, when she told me we have a bigger problem. I asked her "what is it, has somehting happend to the family?", because my grandmother on my dads side was, and is still very ill. She then told me "The US is now at war." I was shocked, and thought she was playing a very nasty and cruel practical joke on me, and I even remarked "Your making a sick joke, right?!?", because I was not sure if it was true. It was only after she told me to go into the computer room, that I found out it was real. I was stunned as I watched video footage of the first tower fall, and saw the plane crash into it. I felt sick to my stomach seeing all those people die. I was even more horrified when I saw live footage of the second tower collapse after the plane had hit it, at this point I wanted to puke, and I realized that the world we once knew, no longer existed, and that thousands of people had just died, and many more people would die in a war, I almost wanted to cancel my home insrtuction for the day, but I was behind as it was, from medical problems.
All I could think about the entire day was what happend, and I saw the video's of the planbe crases over and over in my head, thinking about all the innocent people who died because of a maniacal person who couldn't live peacfully. I watched the news the entire day until my teacher came, and I had my lesson, but we also put the news on from time-to-time to see what was going on.
When I finally went to bed that night, I realized the world had changed, cilvilians, firefighter's, police, and piolots had died. Two buldings were destored and one damaged, thousands had lost loved ones, and soon soldiars would be sent to fight in a war. The world would not be the same, and after the world returned to a semio-normal state, I thought to myself, maybe this is the kick in the rear the world needed to realize that people need to work together, it's just a shame so many people had to lose their lives for this. I fell asleep late that night, thinking about my 3 year old cousin, and how her birthday would forever be remembered as a day of tragedy for the US, and the modern world.
