Technology and Censorship
My 9/11 story is marked by an acute awareness of the way information is controlled. When I was in 8th grade, the principal interrupted our lunch period to announce that “there might have been some terrorist activity around Washington, D.C.;” I had no way of knowing just how serious the attacks were. I was lucky enough to have a phone equipped with the internet, a rarity in 2001, so I went to CNN to see what had happened. I was shocked to read that the Twin Towers were intentionally struck by airplanes and actually collapsed, that the Pentagon had been attacked, and that thousands of people had died as a result. After about five minutes of reading off the news to everyone at my lunch table, the vice principal stormed over, confiscated the phone and yelled at my thirteen-year-old audacity to tell the truth. Needless to say, this set the tone for much of my dealings with authority figures.

What is your September 11th story?
September 11 is like a blur to me now, I don’t remember what I was doing specifically that day but I do remember either being in class at my elementary school and my teacher Mrs. Abdul-Wajid was talking about it and asking us if we have any family members there but I’m pretty sure she was doing this after the fact that it happened so all I seem to remember is that I was in Oakland, Ca and that I was in the third grade. When I watched the TV and saw people running away from the smoke, families crying for their lost or dead siblings, wife, husband, and children. I instantly imagined myself in their situation and felt sad because at that tender age family is the most important thing to you, and loosing that is unthinkable. I’m most certain that I prayed that night and was thankful because I had my family, health, clothes and a roof over my head. Till this day I don’t take any of that for granted because reality is you never know what obstacles can come in your path.

What is your Sept. 11 story?
Nine years ago on September 11, I first heard about the attack while sitting in class. I was about nine when it happened. My fourth grade teacher had the class gather around a carpet and sit in the dark watching the news. I remember not fully understanding the gravity of the situation. All I saw on the television was the airplanes crashing into the buildings and it being repeated over and over again. We all sat quietly and no one said a word. My teacher was asking the class questions, but no one really wanted to answer because of what we were watching. At school during recess, everyone still played around as if nothing happened, but all the other grades seemed to been impacted deeply because I noticed the look on their faces. When I arrived at my mother’s office that afternoon, I also noticed that she didn’t even work. She was watching the news and the replays of the accident. I remember her telling me that she couldn’t believe that something like this would happen. My mother worked as a travel agent, so hearing about what happened that day, she was in shock, thinking that maybe one of her clients might have been on one of those planes.

What is your September 11 story?
About 9 years ago, chain of in time suicide attacks by Al-Qaeda upon here in the United States. On that morning, Al-Qaeda terrorists hijacked four commercial passenger jet airliners. The hijackers intentionally crashed two of the airliners into the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York City, killing everyone on board and many others working in the buildings. The hijackers then crashed a third airliner into the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia. The fourth plane crashed near Shanksville in Pennsylvania. During that time, I was still in the Philippines, I was around 9-10 years of age, I did not know much, and was not really aware of what’s going around me. I don’t think I cared at all. Well, I was worried about my family here, but that was pretty much it. I didn’t know how bad the impact was to the United States and the whole world in general. When I saw news on TV, it looked like the scene came from a foreign action movie, I thought it was a preview from a movie, it looked so real, but then my mom explained me what was really going on, and so then I realized it was really something serious. We called our family here right away, asked them how they doing. I was worried myself, it was a very big issue that time, and still a big topic until now. I was so young, that I didn’t care much, I thought it was just one of those news that will be forgotten years after, but I was wrong, until now, reading stories of survivors from that day, and people who have lost their loved ones made me sad. I still can’t believe a supposed to be a regular ended up to be a disaster and one of the most unforgettable days in American history.

September 11th Story
On another passing day, the world was another ordinary day for most. I woke up at 7:00am pacific time and turn on the television to watch the morning news to find out that a plane had crashed to one twin tower as the smoke was spewing out the side of the building. I was curious to what has happened and why would a plane crash directly in a building in plain sight. Not knowing to my knowledge that the plane was hijacked by terrorists. I have been watching the news during the time as I have been getting ready to school. I then saw the second plane crashed into the second tower to than realize that this was not an accident, in no way would a second accident can occur so soon. Meanwhile, more that I want to see the ongoing investigation, school was starting and went. In the meanwhile the pentagon and the crash landing in Pennsylvania happen during the time I was in school, a few of my teachers turned on the television and let us watch the ongoing story that happened. I saw fear from the teachers and students around the school, I was not a normal feeling I saw that day. This empathy last for weeks and I believe but it still reoccurs after each passing year from this day, I read the stories that happened that very day from the survivors of September 11th and I saw a deeper vision as I read each story. September 11th has seriously changed my life. Not only that the towers were destroyed but it has bought fear from an unexpected attack among Americans and the world.

What is Your September 11th Story?
When September 11th had happened, I remember waking up early in the morning getting ready for school when my dad had told me to sit down next to him. The living room was dark, the atmosphere a bit gloomy. When I had plopped down next to him on the sofa, I was a bit dazed, still struggling to wake up. However, my grogginess and sleepiness disappeared as soon as I laid my eyes on the flashing screen of the television. The news reporter was showing the scene of the crumpled building along with the caption below of the statistics on how many have passed away and those who have survived. After watching for a couple of minutes, I turned my head to look over at my dad who just sighed. Although he doesn’t show much emotion and even though he didn’t know these people, it was sad for everyone. He told me to get ready for school as I left him in the dark room with the television constantly blinking of more updates on the incident.
I don’t have much memories of what happened in school that day. Almost everything was a blur with kids talking here and there about what they thought happened and teachers trying to quiet the kids down during class. All I know is that we did have a moment of silence as teachers slightly touched on the subject of the incident and explained why it had happened. Maybe it was because I was too young to understand how big of an issue this was but as the years progressed and watching the memorial we have each year on television, it made me realize how tragic it was and although I was not affected by it a lot, it still hurts to know that innocent people lost their lives as others have lost their loved ones because of it.

On September 11th 2001, I was in the 4th grade and living in San José, California. When the planes hit the twin towers I was in class. My mom paged my pager and told me to call my uncles and aunts to make sure that they were ok. At the time, I didn’t fully understand what was happening. I didn’t know what a suicide bomber was, I didn’t know why they were bombing the United States, and I didn’t know what a terrorist was. I can’t remember anything besides feeling bad for the people you were on the plane and in the two buildings. I didn’t feel any connection to what happened because I was too young to understand anything but as time went on, the more emotions I started to feel and the more I realized that we have a really messed up and violent infected world.

September 11
Tragedy had strike the United States nine years ago. When the World Trade Centers was attacked and subsequently destroyed. On that eventful day, I was surprisingly not at school; I was at the hospital due to an eye injury that was inflicted upon me by an idiot with a light saber. As I was exiting my doctor’s office, there it was, a horde standing around the television with grim and ghastly expressions on their faces. As I was young, little came across my mind to even question what has occurred. Little did I know something historic has just occurred. As I arrived home, I situated myself on the couch and turned on the TV. Then it hit me, these two building has just fallen. Emotions ran through my veins, not of sadness, but of fear and confusion. To me those were just miscellaneous buildings that collapsed. As I have grown and educated, I now begin to realize the gravity of the situation and every year I think about the faithful morning, which is the second day that would live in infamy.

I was nine years old when the twin towers were destroyed. While I was eating cereal my dad was barely awake when he turned on the news. Those popular twin towers and the world trade center were being attacked. Being as young as nine I didn’t know how cruel people could be, until realizing that this incident was no accident.
The School I went to at the time was Paden, and tensions were high. This other fourth grader enrolled in my class had a face filled with grief because she couldn’t get in touch with her family members in New York. I know my family is huge but I don’t have family in New York- at least not that I know of. Tensions were still high even when I went home.
The story every one talked about was 9/11. Sometimes the stories sounded like this: a person on her way to work in the twin towers forgot her keys at home. The television still on, and this person realized that he/she saved his/her own life.

My Country, the Great
I remember sitting on the couch, eating a bowl of Lucky Charms, heated because the only thing on TV was news about a plane that hit a building in New York. The news channels didn’t know much about what was going on, but panic was certainly in the air. Little did I know, the world was about to change.
I drove to work and carried on with my day. The sun was out and it was a typical warm, muggy Florida day. What was usually a morning filled with rock and roll and blues on the radio was now replaced by monotone DJ’s delivering tragic news about our country being attacked. We ended early that day and on the way home, I drove by a gas station and noticed that gas was just $0.99 a gallon. I had a feeling this was about to change.
In the following weeks, the magnitude of the attacks began to grow. Our country went to war for the first time in over 10 years and the economy was being torn apart. With all this tragedy, what I noticed were the people of this great country pulling together, helping each other out, and rather than showing fear and panic, showing strength and resilience. To me, this is just one of the things that make this country the greatest in the world.

My September 11, 2001
On the morning of September 11, 2001 I was in fourth grade. That day I got up normally, and since my family didn’t listen to the radio or watch television in the mornings, I didn’t have any idea that something had happened. In those days in the mornings I used to walk to my friend Max’s house to get a ride with them to school. When I got there it was pretty much an average scene; his mom and dad eating breakfast at their dining room table while I went to watch morning cartoons with Max. After a few minutes his dad came over and started flipping through the news and the first thing was saw was the quote in all capital letters across the Fox News station, “AMERICA UNDER ATTACK?”
It was several minutes before what they thought happened was explained. At that point it wasn’t clear whether it was a bomb or a missile that had impacted the World Trade Center, but it was clear that this was going to be a different day. Max’s parents opted to have us go to school still, and I remember our teacher having us move all the desks to the sides of the room and sitting in a circle so she could explain to us what happened in calm, mature terms. At first our class didn’t react, but even when we did start asking questions the teacher didn’t have any real answers. The rest of the day, as I recall, was fairly normal with nothing else significant happening.
Later that day, when I got in the car with my dad on the way home I got a chance to talk with my dad. At that point in my life I viewed his job as a software engineer as him working alone in a dark room, isolated from the rest of the world and unable to hear what was going on in the rest of the world. As it turns out, I was mistaken and he was able to shed a great deal of light on what had actually happened that morning. It was at that time (probably about 3:15 or so) that I was finally told that it was a suicide bombing attack from commercial airplanes.

September 11th Story
The morning of September 11th, 2001; I could tell that something was amiss. My parents were unusually quite and the turned off the news quickly after I had come upstairs. This was strange because we always watched the news while I ate breakfast and got ready for school. From the brief glimpse I got of the news program I could tell something had gone wrong but being young and carefree I didn’t think much of it. When my mother dropped me off for school and hour later, she asked me to stay a moment before I got out of the car. She told me that something had happened today, a plane crash in New York and that I should not worry no matter what I hear in school and that everything was going to be ok. As I left the car my young mind still didn’t quite understand how something that happened so far away could be so frightening. Sure, a plane crash was tragic but worse things happen everyday. It wasn’t until I walked into the classroom that that I got a real taste of the mood that had been instilled. The whole room was abuzz. Everyone was talking. Sure that isn’t abnormal in an elementary school classroom but it was different than usual. There was an intangible feeling in the air, of excitement, unpredictability, and fear. Soon after our teacher walked in and addressed the class. She spoke briefly on the subject of the crash but I can not remember much of what she actually said. The gist of it though was that we would all be fine and that we would have to focus and continue on with the day like it was any other.

My September 11, Story
My September 11 story take me back home, I was on my way to school in Liberia at St. Edward catholic School. In Liberia news is transfer orally or by radio and newspapers. My parents call to tell me I should return home, because America was under attack. I did not understand how impacted this would be. As a thirteen year old child I did not understand how terrible this attack would be on the lives of American. I saw people taking their children out of school, markets close, families gather around the radio listen to how this will damage families. Liberia is known as the daughter of America, whatever impacts the United States face Liberia has a potion of consequences of that. I later watch the world towel capture on video, honest scared me to death. This wonderful nation we all considered as the world power in crumbling down. The severity of September 11 touches the heart of ever human around the globe.

My September story
It’s true, Most of us have not only heard this said, but we have said it ourselves. After 9/11, everything changed. How so, you ask? Many of our attitudes towards people of different ethnic backgrounds and religions have changed. Many of us have changed where we stand on the issue of immigration. We, as a country, as Americans, have changed in ways we never thought possible. Certain questions I need to address in analyzing this issue are: Do we have a greater sense of unity as Americans now or not? Does this sense cross racial, ethnic, and gender boundaries? Also, I will analyze if being afraid has xenophobic (having a fear of anyone of foreign origin).
Since September 11, 2001, many things have changed, including our attitudes towards people of different backgrounds than ourselves. The original photo, which we’ve all seen, are three white firefighters at ground zero raising a flag. Some people thought that a statue should be made with a white firefighter, a black firefighter, and a Hispanic firefighter, to honor all the different firefighters who died that day. September 11, this is the day the United States had the biggest tragedy in its history. That tore up the heart of human beings all around the world or at least every “human being”. Why would a person commit a crime like this? What every his motives are, all the people that where killed were innocent civilians.
Americans say; we are going to rebuild the twin towers and we are going on with our life. Of course you are. The United States is the biggest and richest country in the world. The best way to retaliate is to show those lunatics that this won’t affect Americans, and every thing will go on as usual.
What do Americans think about this and what do they think their government should do? Some say we should hit all Arabs, even thou Afghanistan have nothing to do with Arab world, others say we should hit who ever did it, and there is a minority that say it’s a wrong thing to hit back because in their mind things are not solved by war. Yeah may be there is some truth in that, but in this case, NO. In my opinion, I’m with the second group. Who ever did this should pay the price.
Osama Benladen The lunatic after this tragedy. A fighter that hides in Afghanistan and fight in the name of Islam. No religion would ask its followers to kill innocent people or kill at all. This is his way to keep people around him by saying that he is fighting for his religion.

My September 11 story.
I am from Brazil, and I’ve only been in the United States for 2 years. So when the September 11 happened I was in Brazil and I was young, but even though I remember the chock around the whole country when the news came on TV.
I was at my house having breakfast with my family when the attack happened and I didn’t really understand at the time what was going on, but what they showed on the TV was so intense and so sad that right away I realized that something really bad was going on in United States. I remember my parents were in front of the TV for a really long time, that even later people on the streets, at work, at schools, they went to the closest TV to watch and find out what was going on in New York.
Months passed and people would keep talking on the news, at school, talking everywhere, even in Brazil, about the September 11 attack. It was something so brutal and so horrible, that I do not think that people will ever forget it. Even being from a different country, I particularly will never forget it, especially in memory of all the innocent Americans who died.

My September story
The date was September 11, 2001, a misfortune that will linger in the memory of few but in the lives of many. Although this calamity took place in America, it falls upon those in all countries, either by account of close proximity or devoted alliance, and they will forever recall this event, registering it forever in their reflection. The nation was hit with the hand of a coward and the conscience of a criminal. The lack of justifiable means only illustrates the poor judgment and abominable taste portrayed by those of foreign descent who decided one day, to take thousands of lives only in order to put their minds at ease. Let me tell you a story…one of existing pain and future adversity.
Three commercial aircraft flights were hijacked and purposefully crashed into the two towers of the world trade center in New York and another into the pentagon in Washington D.C. killing thousands. News stories have shown that Osama bin laden planned this attack. Having to hear about this attack and seeing so many people dead I felt really bad.

September 11, 2001. I had been in this country less than 4 months. Separated from my native home halfway across the globe, I vaguely remember the whirlwind of events overlapping the first months of my new life. However, there was always the same routine each morning: rise early, get ready for school, and so on. But on this unforgettable day, as I lifted my toothbrush up to my mouth, I heard my father yelling for my mother to come into the living room. Instinctively I finished brushing as fast as I could and rushed in after her. On the 32-inch television screen was a strange sight whose horror and significance did not immediately register in my mind. The breaking news kept replaying the same clips of a twin pair of sky-high towers enshrouded in smoke. My father repeatedly muttered between explanations to my mother, "America is ruined. We are ruined." (Here I apologize as his original meaning may have been lost in translation.) I remember looking on as my parents discussed their shock and disbelief. How could such an incident have occurred? Who was (or were) responsible? One thing was for sure - this nation and her people would never again be the same.
Two months later, my father became unemployed.

Comment to Merty Brown's 9/11 story
I agree with you and it has been hard to find Osama Bin Laden over the last nine years, however according to the article 'Gordon Duff: CIA Hints, Bin Laden Dead Since "Early 2000's"' he is dead. Although there are disagreements on whether he is dead or not, he doesn't deserve to be alive.

What is your September 11 story?
I was in my 1st period class of sixth grade when I first saw the news on 9/11. My teacher turned the television on where the terrible tragedy was broadcast on every news channel. I felt really frightened when I saw what was occurring in New York. I was afraid that there was going to be another terrorist attack in San Francisco or in Oakland where I resided. Then I got a sudden call to go to the principal office where my parents waited to seize me and my brother home. When I got home, all my family huddled in the living room to watch the news. We were all sad of such a tragic event and prayed for all the people that were going through sufferings in New York.

September 9/11
September nine eleven is the day the twin tower world trade center and Pentagon was attacked by terrorist organization lead by Osama bin Laden. That day the lives of American citizens where chanced forever. Many people of all races died that day. I was only in middle school when it happened. Everyone was so scared and they didn’t know if there would be any more attacks. People took a lot of videos of the two planes hitting the towers.
Many people went to New York to volunteer to help out. President Bush ordered an attack against the terrorist. He also made security in the airports tighter. It changed many things in America. The economy went down; people were too scared to fly with airplanes. Muslim people started getting treated bad.
Today still 9/11 is creating more problems. For example: they are trying to build a mosque in ground zero. This is four blocks away from where the incident took place. There was demonstration against the mosque and there were supports for the masque.

In response to Giovana Zanellato
I think that it's really interesting how even people from a different country once they heard about this empathized with people they've never met before it's like everyone came together, the world, for something unselfish and it's one of the few times that people from all over the world have been able to do that.

What is your September 11th story?
September 11 was worse disaster in United States of America history. I remember what I was doing I was helping my big brother with his homework. All the suddenly my phone stared to rang when I pick up it was my other brother from New Yorker. He was telling me to turn television on. That something bad has happened I was like what are you talking about, then saw on television planes crashing on burning building, smoke coming from everywhere families crying.
After I saw all this happened to the place I was born in .Made me feel blue because I have a lot of families’ member, friends from New York. Even thought I was really young then but I picture myself in their circumstances and felt devastating because I am a New Yorker and I have lots of peoples who live there.
September 11th was big disaster that never ever should happened to New York City?
It was unexpected attack for New Yorkers and wake up call for rest of country and the world.
Written response to the syllabus
I think that syllabus is good ideas for this class because it helps me stay focus on materials also to know what I am doing day to day. It also , give me clear picture of what the outcome of this class going to be. For example the syllabus help me study in advance be prepare for testes and quizzes. The syllabus is very reasonable because at this point of English class. This is exactly what we need. I also , believe that syllabus is fair enough to me and I find it useful.
the real Maxx here...
seems like somebody jacked my name above.
the first story was mine...the second ("I was in my 1st period class of sixth grade when I first saw the news on 9/11. My teacher turned the television on where the terrible tragedy was broadcast on every news channel...") was not.
What is your September 11 story?
I have a little memory of September 11, but I do remember that I was in Mongolia. I was in fifth grade at my school, and my grandparents were going all over the city to collect paper work for my brother and me to get a visa of America. We were so busy around that time, but when we got home, we have heard over the news station that the two of the tallest building in America had been destroyed by airplanes. I saw the footage of the airplane hit the building and I was in shock. My parents were in the U.S so I was worried that they were not around there when it happened. I also thought , I will not go to U.S because they are going to have a war and why should I go there to die, but I happened to came here anyways.
