project preference

This year I would like to work on powerpoints because I think it is more useful. I would like to learn how to use animation. But I would not mind learning about other formats of digital presentation.

Reminiscing September 11th

It has been eight years since the tragic event of 9/11 had occurred. To this day I still remember where I was when it had happened. As I recall where I was, I can still feel the mood of the atmosphere around me. I was living in Randolph at the time, and was in my third grade class with Mrs. Coulter. My teacher also happened to be the assistant principal, and she had left the room all day. So my assistant teacher took over, and was reading an American Diary book to us. You could tell behind that smile she was putting on, something was wrong. Her eyes had given her away. I remember going home that day finding both my parents were home. It was unusual to find my mom home that early because she didn't come home until around 5:00 p.m. every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. But that day I found her home. My dad had called her and told ehr to come home immediately. In the background I could hear the news. I had heard that two planes had crashed into the World Trade Center. I wasn't quite sure what the Twin Towers were, but I realized it was something significant. My parents briefly explained to me what had happened because I was only in third grade and my brother was in first. I remember my mom trying to call my aunt because my uncle works near the Twin Towers. That day had been a day of sitting and waiting to hear what had happened, why it happened, whatwas the damage, and how many people we had lost. That day had left our country shaken for awhile.

Today I feel as though people are starting to forget that tragic day. It's just going to be one of those events that will be written in history books, and that's all. I will forever remember that day because I was alive for. Each year I learn more and more about that day and can honestly say it taken great affect on me. Lucky for me I didn't lost anyone, and for I am very thankful. But on that day every year my heart goes out to the people who did lose someone that was very special to them. We lost many victims, firefighters, and police officers. All innocent and trying their best to save people. They lost their lives because they were being unselfish. They were saving peoples' lives and they died because of it. Most of us take it for granted and become selfish at times. I know I have been selfish at times, and when I think of all those people holding onto their lives and trying to save others, I realize I am very lucky to be healthy and have a healthy family. And I hope people do learn from this. I hope this day will never be forgotten like all the other events written in history books. I know I will never forget.
