            Today I woke up the same as every other day.  Brushed my teeth and got ready for school.  Only today was not like every other day.  A great tragedy struck the United States.  The New York City Twin Towers were attacked by terrorists and also the Pentagon.  Thousands of people were missing and many were killed.  Now that I am sitting here in my room and thinking about what happened today and how it had a huge effect on all the people, I get sad just thinking about it.  What will happen next?  Will the world ever be the same again?

            Another day and you can’t believe what is happening in the world.  People from all over are getting together to help one another.  Fire fighters and police men are all working so hard to help.  I’m sure glad to be an American right now.

            Today was an amazing day, people are now giving food, donating money to the Red Cross, and I never even knew that these things going on around me existed.  People are even giving blood to help the people hurt in this tragedy.  My family is watching the news to hear all that is going on.  I feel so sad inside, and I am still trying to understand what is going on.  I hear it on TV, cause I don’t want to watch, and wonder how something so close to us is happening but every day in my life still feels the same.  I think this is a really sad time for everyone but maybe people will be kinder to one another and care more for each other.  So maybe tomorrow when I wake up to another day, the world will be done with terrorism and will be a happy place for everyone.
