Just got home a lil while ago ‘nd I'm watching "Trade Center" on the History Channel now. Today is of course the horrible anniversary of the worst attack on US soil, the attack on the World Trade Center. Saying that I feel bad about this day and it's victims wouldn't be enough, but I don't know how to put it. I remember that day too, a bunch of kids were taken out of school early. When I finally got home I heard my Mom watching the news as I walked down the steps.
Anyhoo, we stood for a moment of silence during homeroom and listened to a beautiful poem about American unity from over the loud speaker. I didn't feel like we did enough though, after homeroom I didn’t hear much else about it... But since last year, our school started a tradition, giving out a little paper to all the students in the building with a victims name printed on it. Last year I got Bruce Gary, 51 yrs, from Bellmore N.Y. and this year I received the name John Robert Cruz. I dunno, reading those names, it really tore me up inside…
It's something I won't ever forget, something that no one should. Not because it's an American tragedy, but because it's an event that truly effected the way we as a people live in the world today. Kinda reminds me of Katrina, they’re events that brought people together, not to mention the pain felt...
I hate this, I hate that these things happen, overseas or close to home, it really hurts and only increases the prejudices and evils embedded in society.
God bless the victims of 9/ll and God bless you all~

Ummm, I’m gonna finish my essay now, [I have to this time, it’s due tomorrowwww]
