911 Memorial 

9/11 was the day the twin towers were struck by terrorist. At around 8:46 am or so the first plane hit the north tower. At around 9:03am or so the south tower was struck by a second plane. People were in a panic. They did not know what was going on and were afraid.  The south tower only last 56 min. before collapsing. When the towers feel thousands of people were dead. Both towers debrief was about 10 stories high. It took 9 months for the debrief to be cleaned up and for search parties to find the remains of others that had not been found yet. Many firemen and officers were stuck in the tower trying to save people and get them out. About 78 officers were dead which meant about 200 firemen had died. These men and women lost their lives trying to save someone else’s life. When 9/11 occurred I was in the 2^nd grade. I did not understand what was happening. I was school during this time and they had rallied us up outside and told us to give a moment of silence for those that had been lost. It wasn’t till I reached the 4^th grade that I understood why that day was so important.

This was a really tragic day. Whenever I look back at this day and watch documentaries on it, it brings me the chills. I can’t imagine how it would have felt to lose your loved ones in an event like this. I would love to go visit the memorial that the made for the towers someday. Many people lost their lives trying to save someone else’s life. Every year on 9/11 I do more and more research on this event. It is really interesting to me. It’s something that brought many Americans together. Now I understand why back when I was in the 2^nd grade we had a moment of silence. So how about you take a minute and silence yourself and reflect on this day. Maybe even a little prayer for those that have lost someone in the event. 

“What you are as a person is far more important than what you are as a basketball player.”

John Wooden

This quote means that who you are out of a uniform is way more important than who you are with the uniform on. You can’t have two personalities. You can’t be one way when you have that uniform on and can’t be another way when you take it off. It won’t work out like that. There person you show off when you are out of that uniform is what people will remember you by so if you are this cruel harsh person then people will look at you that way. The way you come off to people will depend on yourself and no one else. So it’s up to u=you to show them who you really are.

“Your past is not your potential”

Marilyn Ferguson

        This quote means that what you have done in the past will not determine your future. If you have made some bad decisions in the past you can choose to change the way you are and do better. For example, if you have failed a class or didn’t pass with the grade you wanted you can choose to change that now. Your past isn’t your potential meaning it’s not your full capacity. You have more knowledge and will do well. You can’t change your past but you can change your future and show others your full potential.

It changes also the way you think .You no longer give up on you but strive to succeed and do well. There is no other better person to motivate you rather than yourself.
