The September 11 attacks By tony nguyen
I remember on the day 9/11. It was a tuesday morning and 19 terrorists hijack 5 airplanes. The terrorists crashed the two plan Flight 11 and Flight 175 in the twin towers. Both of the towers collapsed within two hours. The third airplane flight 77 crashed into the pentagon. The fourth airplanes flight 93 crashed into the field in pennsylvania. the last airplane crashed in washington, DC. Nearly 3,000 poeple die in this attack. Everybody was petrify after that attack
the terorist attack on 9/11
I feel sad yet I'm happy.It was sad that those 9/11 victims lost their loved ones but I was happy for what they created for people like their loved ones.The way that we stood united after the attack I knew that they didn't break our spirits that we will stand strong no matter what.I know that the people that lost their loved won't forget about them until they die and even past that .They have created happiness for others.they made life easier for the people that didn't have money for school or for worth worthy causes. We will never forget that tragedy but we will always remember the men and woman that died and the police officers and firemen for their heroic acts and the lives they saved.And the animals that died and for the people that lived and their families to have lived through that day. And for the people that lost their sons, daughters, husbands, wives that they don't lose the connection that they had.
The attack on 9/11
When I saw videos about 9/11 it was very emotional. The whole time I was thinking about how people felt that fear of knowing they were going to die, and it gives me chills. I don't remember anything about that day because I was very young, but now that I am older I understand. After I watched those videos, those horrible images swirl in my mind over and over again throughout the whole entire day. Even though I was to young to know what was going on I still feel the need to have Patriotism just like everybody else in America should. What happened that day was very serious and brutal. I can't even bear with knowing people are still out there doing this to innocent people.
I can still imagine seeing those twins towers falling, and feeling complete sorrow at that moment. I can't believe 3,000 innocent people were killed that day. When I saw those people jumping out the windows it broke my heart. I always think to myself "What if that was my family"? and begin to tear up. Those victims of 9/11 will always be in my heart and I will never forget the heroes that risk their lives just to make sure America was safe. May God Bless America!

The Terroist Attack on 9/11
The terroist attack on 9/11 swirls vaguely in my mind. I can't recall much of it as I was too young to remember any of it. If my memories are correct, I can still call to my mind of those two buildings permeated with smoke on television. I didn't have any reflections to be honest. I was too little to remember any of it, but now that I am grown-up, I feel just as horrible as any America-loving citizens. I feel that Bin Laden shouldn't punish those innocent and non-interfering people for his own cause.
Even till now, I still can fantasize those people ending their pain by means of jumping. It was desperate for people to watch as it is for the people trapped inside. I feel sorry as those people being mercilessly burned of gased, bcause they were regular, decent citizens doing their job. This attack has marked and scarred many people for life.

Dear Future Me,
In the future I see myself having many achievements and I would like to be successful. I see myself in the future finishing high school and college. The high school I will attend is Neumann Goretti and the college, University of Connecticut. I will go to college and study to be a Pediatrition or F.B.I profiler because I love children and sloving mysteries . I will play college basketball and hopefully get drafted into the W.N.B.A In between all of this I would like to donate my money to many charities and give back to the world. I think donating to charities will help many children have a better life. Someone told me that the children are the future. I was once told I was the future and now I will pass it on. All children need a little hope in their life and if I can help I'm all in. Once I'm drafted into the pros I would love to get married and have children. I always wanted that family to love and support like my mom and dad have blessed me with. I think every adult needs children to keep them grounded. I love children because they don't care about the mistakes you made in a basketball game or in life period. All they know is that you are their mom and dad and you love them. Children should always come first no matter what they do or say. You should always support your children in anything they do never turn your back on them. Being a good parent is the best goal you can have and achieve.
Being a F.B.I profiler is something I always dreamed of doing. Being a basketball player inspired me to become a profiler. Playing the game of basketball I always have to study a persons game to make myself better. For example, the player I love to study is kobe bryant just the expression on his face tells you that he refuse to lose. That is the kind of focus I need. I always study the small thing, the way he takes control of the team when in time of need. I study the way he dribbles the ball, his form of his jump shot, his drive to the basket, his defence and his drive to win the game. Since I'm a star in the making I always watch the stars that have already reached there goals. If I can study one person and have it down pack just think of how many criminal I can study.
If the goals I have set for myself don't go as planed I just want to give back to the world.

Dear Future Me
Dear future me,
work really hard so that I can get into a good college and fulfill my dreams of studying Forensic Science. I have always wanted to work as a CSI ever since I have been watching the show "CSI." CSI Miami, Criminal MiI have lots of plans and dreams I see myself doing in future. Well first of all I want myself tonds, and Law and Order have encouraged me to be more confident in what I've always wanted to do. The second thing I see myself doing in the future is to meet some of my admirable celebrities (for example: Shemar Moore, Matthew Gray Gubler, Thomas Gibson, and Monica.) I also want to take over my grandmother's love for baking; I love to bake, she loves to bake, and therefor we both love to bake together, its really fun. Some of my other wishes for my future self is to be on the show "Don't Forget The Lyrics." My hope for myself is to become a wonderful wife and mother someday. My ambition is to travel the world but mostly to travel to Alaska and mexico in one point of my life. Mostly I want to make my mother proud of me andhave a baby monkey someme to be proud of myself for who I am and not who people try to make me out to be. I want today; they are smart, unusual, and different which I consider a definition of me! I have lots of dreams and wishes for myself that I hope I can achieve later down my path!
Have a good ride on your journey future me!
Sincerly,
Talesia! =)
The Human Knot
I felt that The Human Knot was confusing at first. During this activity my feelings were that people were to close to each other. They were hugging you and had there arms around your neck so you couldn't even breathe. People breathing down your neck, laying on you and stepping on your arm also pulling them to. Finally, at the end I got the hang of it and got out of the knot.
Doing this activity I learned that I'm not that patient after all and that I get mad easy when I can't get something done right. Also,I'll get tired of it and just give up on it.
During The Human Knot I learned that things aren't going to be easy after all in life. If your working in a group it just can't be only you getting it done it have to be everyone in the group to get out of the knot. It takes dedication and team work to do so. The lesson that I learned that can be applied to my life is that I can't just give up on something that's new to me because if I do it will only teach me how to quiet and not teach me how to solve the problem.

DEAR FUTURE
DEAR FUTURE ME,
I would like to see myself in a good high school, then when I'm old enough, I can get a temporary job to support myself with the money I make with it, instead of using my parents money. Then when I get to college, I'll still keep my job to support myself in college. I'm not sure what I'm gonna do when I'm done college. But I will eventually find out, but until then, I'll keep the temporary job.
My hopes is to graduate high school and college and eventually find a career, my goals is to do good in school. My wishes is to do good in school and get a temporary job until I get a career, and support myself through out college and the rest of my life.
Dear Future Me
Dear Future Me,
In the future, I hope to achieve many things. I have many plans for myself and I hope that I can fulfill them all. First, I would like to write a book, but I'm not sure what I would write about. I definitely want to own a cupcake shop. I've had that dream for about two years now. Baking is something I love to do; it brings out my imagination. Another goal that I want to reach is to go to an outstanding college and prosper in life. I don't know what I want to be when I become an adult yet, but I know I'll find my way.
I wish to meet some of my favorite celebrities, and I would also like to travel to Utah. I hear it's beautiful there. I want to go bungee jumping and sky diving because I love the feeling of fearlessness. In my future, I would also like to own a llama because they're awesome. I also hope to be a great mother and wife someday.
Even though I have all these dreams and aspirations, I know that right now isn't the time to get working on them. Right now is the time to make mistakes, change my mind, then change it over and over again. So to the future me, good luck! You'll need it!
With love,
Gabby
