Remember 9/11 , Part 2

Hi, im the 4th Page:
Today, i do my 2nd part on my 3 part 9/11 blog. And today, on 9/11, I interviewed TCS alumnus Andrew Passarotti, you can also find him on twitter. His name is called @AndrewPass on the twitter website. And now, here are his answers on my questions:
  • "I was 12 years old, and I was sitting in Mrs. Gergulas's (Woodhouse) literature class. It was 3rd period."
  • "Our superintendent told us over the intercom. And I was confused, so I was asking everybody what was going on. But yeah, it was weird and the older kids were telling us that the buildings fell down... We didn't believe them. It was just weird. And we started guessing where they would strike next."
  • "When I finally got home, we watched the coverage on the news, and then we spent our time with my uncle and then we went to a diner called New York New York, and we watched more of the news there. It was pretty surreal since there were murals and other decorations featuring the towers."
  • "I think... in general, people are more frightened of people outside the U.S. but it helps us remember that there are many threats out there."
  • "I think I went back to New York 3 months later, for Christmas, but it was clear to see people were still scared. In other parts of the city, people were acting different, but they still kept Christmas cheer."
  • "I think eventually they might come back and attack NYC again, but I don't believe that they will strike anytime soon. Our security will never be perfect, and anything is possible. But the only one we should fear is God, and I put my trust in Him."
And those were the words of Andrew Passarotti, as he tells us his experience of 9/11. Remember, it doesnt matter who knocks you down, but that it is your choice to get back up. Always Remember Ground Zero. Have a blessed day,

Remember 9/11 Part 1

Hi, im the 4th Page,
Ten years ago, America got the biggest surprise attack since Pearl Harbor. So I will be interviewnig a few friends on what it was like. So today, I interviewed The Picky Eater (Shihab Joseph) on what it was like for him and his family on 9/11.

He says he was at home and 2 yrs old. And this is what else he said,
  • "My dad used to work in NY and he saw it LIVE and then he called my mom, and then my sis and my mom turned on the tv and watched the thing live and she was worried."
  • "Most buisness in NYC, including my dad's, were shut down for the next week, people were mourning, there were lots of cops and firefighters and ambulances."
  • "wow............So much has happened: They fixed the Pentagon, they cleared the disaster area. People have been scarred for life, families have been heartbroken. (Especially the families of the people who took over the planer from the hijackers and changed the course from the White House and crash landed in PA."
  • "Im glad they brought them to justice, but it is also very sad that one of America's famous landmarks was destroyed and that thousands and thousands of people died and also, I really salute the passengers on the 4th plane.
Those are the words of The Picky Eater (Shihab Joseph) as he Remembers 9/11. Always Remember. Have a blessed day,

Try to think about, but let me leave you with this, whenever you take God out of the picture like what this whole country and world has done. You will fall down the wrong path. Never do that!
