Freedom day? Why's it called that? 9/11 has nothing to do with freedom right? Sounds like slavery or something.
Ok guys, don't freak out, but I think it would've been nice if my school did something to remember 9/11. All we really did was have a moment of silence (
supposedly, a few kids were still chatting away). it would have been cool if we couldve had an assembly and talked about it, I think. I've looked it up now, but before I didnt know much about 9/11 (I was only 3 when it happened), just that planes had crashed into the the Towers. I didn't know about terrorist and I didnt know that the planes were hijacked and everything. I mean, there were normal, everyday people, maybe even kids on those planes, right? And like, thousands in the buildings. It's crazy. It kinda sucks that it happened 10 years ago and Im just realizing how important that day was and how many people were hurt. What's wrong with talking about it at school? It was a important day.
One of my teachers showed us pictures and a few video clips from Google and she talked about it some (she only showed kids who wanted to see it but she talked about it with all of us) . It was really, really sad and a few kids (including me) started crying by the time we were done but I was glad I got to see it in a weird way. I have to be honest though, it sure didnt help my fear of flying. Im definitely NOT going to Canada next summer.
I feel bad for the families. Think about it, if someone in your family died because of 9/11, wouldnt it be great to know that everybody in the country
including kids in school were sort of honoring your family member by talking about it and remembering it and everything? I think that's pretty amazing.
