on 9/11, i was in school. i was in the 7th grade, in english class. as soon as it all started, the entrie school was stop in front of the classrooms' tv's. there wasn't a soul there who wasn't crying. even i was which is rare for me. all i can remember is how much pain there was, how horrible it felt inside. all anyone did that day was hug and cry. i cried myself to sleep, that was a national day of mourning. the entire country suddenly burst out in pride for the usa. there wasn't a person in our town, or even in the surrounding area that didn't have a flag in there car or on their front porch. i myself looked and called upon god. and even though i knew god's answer is that war is not the way, i persuaded it as much as possible. i promised myself that as soon as i turned 18, i'd sign up to be drafted. but i then later stepped back and looked at the damage done by the 2 jet liners crashing into the 2 most glorified and awed structures in the entire country, perhaps the world. when i stepped back and looked at it all, and felt that pain come rushing back by just thinking about it, i figured out that war wasn't the answer. even though our instant reaction is to seek revenge, we shouldn't have. almost a year afterwards i visited groundzero. as soon as i stepped put of my car, i began to cry, i talked to people beside me, telling them as if they cared where i was during it all. and in this great country of ours, they did care. we live in the greatest nation in the world, and those mother f***ers did that because they were so damn jealous of our beautiful seas and our wide open feilds. our glorious mountains and green forests, our rushing rivers and our perfect deserts. i hope no one ever forgets how bad it all felt inside, i hope that all those who lost someone never forget them and live their lives as if that someone was right there with them. and thats my story.......
