When you’re a teenager, a huge problem might be that you just have to have a new CD, 1 your parents won't give you the money for it.I thought life was so
unfair when things like this happened-until September 11, 2001.
I was in P.E.when the planes hit the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.As soon as I got home and for weeks after, I saw the disaster shown on TV.Seeing the innocent people running for their 2 as the debris(瓦砾)started coming down the fire and smoke rose out of the buildings brought tears to my eyes.I couldn't help imagining what the people on the 3 and in the buildings were thinking and going through, not 4 what was going on.I admired the courage of the firefighters who rushed in and risked their own lives to 5 others.It tore my heart apart to watch the hopeless looks on the faces of so many people who didn't know if their loved ones were dead or alive while 6 in all the debris.
Then it 7 me: All my life I had thought mainly of myself.I had it easy in life and had been taking it all for granted.
A feeling of coldness ran down my back, and I cried just thinking of the possibility that it could have easily 8 to my family.My mom or dad could have been killed like that, and I would never, ever see them again.I began to evaluate what a real need in life was.
This disaster 9 me that awful things can happen to anyone at any time.Now when my mom or dad or sister go somewhere, even if it's just to the store, I try to remember to tell them that I love them because I know there is a 10 that I may never tell them that again.
Not getting a new CD is not going to make or 11 my life.I can live with those kinds of problems.But losing someone I love would 12 make my life miserable.
9/11 showed me just what I am.
