September 11

One day in a person’s life is not supposed to change anything, but on September 11, 2001, the whole world changed. Now, people don’t look through just one eye, they open both eyes and look through both, not knowing when a horrific event like this will happen again. I know that I will never be the same person that I was now that something so terrible happened. I know, the world wont be the same after something like this happening, and the people who did this to us wont be the same either because there will be a lot of changes for them in the long run.

There are a few reasons why this time affected me and bothered me; one reason is that I knew two people who were victims of this horrible event. One of the men I knew lived on my block and I will never forget the first Christmas that we spent on the block. He came to our front door in a Santa Claus outfit and gave us presents, and since that day we would become great friends with their family. My brother became very good friends with his son.

It has really made everyone realize what’s going on around the world, and what other Countries feel like after being attacked like we were. Most of people were at their desks doing work; some were probably in the Cafeteria buttering their Bagel when the Towers were hit, not even knowing what was about to come. All the stories will be the same; On September 11, 2001 the United States was under attack by a coward without a face. I knew the boy only from school and some classes that I had with him. Ever since then, I have been worried about certain things, and before any of this happened, I was never worried bout. I just hope nothing like this happens again, and that we all understand what could happen. All the people that died that day were doing their job, they weren’t even thinking about what would happen or what could happen, they all thought they were in safest place in the world. I know I will miss him along with the rest of the Ridgewood Football Team. It was hard on everyone, and we all came together and we all showed Patriotism like never before.
