   9/11/2001
It's been four years since the nation changed forever. I remember that morning as I got ready to head out for school. I was only a high school freshman and I had woken up rather early in the morning for early-bird band practice. It was 7:00 am when I turned on the TV and the first thing I saw was a burning tower. The top of the tower had smoke flowing out of it. I had little knowledge of that tower; I didn't even know its name until the CNN news headlines mentioned it: World Trade Center, hit by a terrorist attack. I can't say that I felt scared but I was rather concerned about the ppl in the towers. I wondered if the ppl had already escaped the towers to safety. I wondered if the firemen were already on their way to rescue them. I wondered how long this had been going on. I wondered what caused it. I was being rushed by time to get to school. I left home at 7:15 am.

All day that day, my classes had the TV on and it's where I learned more about what had happened. We did nothing in class but watch the TV coverage on the attacks. Teachers said that the terrorists did that as a result of America's imperialistic ways on 3rd world countries, that they did it for revenge because Afghanistan was in serious poverty and the US did nothing about it but to exploit them. I dunno whether I believed it or not since we where never told a real reason why this happened. Anyone can believe what they want to. If the terrorists really did it out of revenge because America is so greedy, then why do they also oppress their own ppl? The Taliban? Shouldn't they work together to survive, instead of killing ppl for pointless crimes? Just watch the movie Osama
and you'll see what I mean

I love this movie. It's straight out of Afghanistan (foreign film) and it's just sad. It depicts how ppl had to live under the Taliban.

Anyway, yea. I guess we will all remember where we were that day when we found out about 9/11. We can remember the events that followed that whole day. I'll never forget it.
