Memories about 9/11

I don't remember what it was like that day to go to school and see teachers scared and worried. The only memory I have of that day was at home. It was already dark outside and I remember I was watching television in the TV room. I went outside into the kitchen where my mom was. When I was in the kitchen i saw that the news was on and then i looked at my mom and she was crying. I remember asking her what wrong and she said "That some very bad men did some horrible things to innocent people." I didn't understand at the time but I remember that I would understand in the future when I was older. I also remember after my mom said that I looked at the television where the news was showing the video of the planes hitting the buildings and i remember being scared out of my mind and watching people die by jumping out of the building. In just being in second grade I thought I would never see anything more horrible in my life. After watching that video on the news i went over and hugged my mom because I knew that a hug from me would make her feel a little better. My mom kept telling me that she couldn't imagine the families and friends that have to watch this knowing that their love ones are dead or severely injured. Now that I am older and understand what happened that day I see that this world has many faults. Where do people get off thinking they can take someones life just for the hell of it? This might sound very Christian of me but I believe who or what brought us (God or someone like that) in this world should be able to take us out of it. I hope this world sees that we need to change as a whole. We all live on this place called Earth we should learn to live in peace and love.


After reading this article about people in Florida at a church want to burn the Koran I was really confused. I get that people will never forget about this day and I don't think that anyone will because it is history and effected a lot of people. But burning a Koran is not going to do anything. It is not going to bring back the people that died. I believe this is really going to hurt the people in America that are American citizens that are Islamic. They did nothing to deserve this and this goes against freedom of religion. The first amendment states that people have the right to express to their own religion and by doing this is like spitting in the people here that practice the Islamic faith.
