September 11, 2001.
Who could forget September 11, 2001. I certainly won’t I was 15 and was in High School in Tucson Arizona. I had woke up like I always did, Woke up to JohnJay and Rich on the Radio. They were talking about the news, so I didn’t really pay much attention just got ready for school. It was about 6:30AM and it was almost time to go to breakfast. Every Morning before I went to breakfast I went to get my meds as I walked out of my room I saw all the dorm staff and some students watching TV, Which was unusual because only the staff watched music videos in the morning. There sure enough The Twin Towers were hit. We were all in amazement.
I headed over to get my meds and the nurses had the TV in the hall Way and everyone was watching. Everyone was in shock they Couldn’t believe what had happened. There was a big line of students waiting to get there meds.
　
I had ate my Breakfast in disbelief and headed back to the dorm to get my stuff ready for school. I called my parents and my mom had said everything was fine and she had the 3 foster kids in her room and was watching TV. I got all my books and stuff ready for school and headed to my 1st period class.
When the bell rang everyone got inside and our teacher turned on the TV. He had told us that our school was going to be put in Lockdown So no one could go anywhere for a while. Mean while my mom had called the school and made sure things were ok they had told her that the students were put in lockdown and were talking about what was going on.
Later on that day the lockdown was lifted seeing there was nothing else going to happen and after the President had spoke about it and said everything was ok.
8 years ago our country changed and no one will ever forget where they were and what they were doing. I remember how I felt looking on as the first tower fell to the ground. It was a day I will not soon forget. I remember some of the thoughts that went through my mind as I watched, on TV, the second tower tumble to the ground. So many lives were ruined. So many people were devastated. The news went all across the world and people gathered in the streets to see what good could be done to aid their fellow man. The world seemed to pause for a moment in time while people tried to understand what happened and why this had to be.
Thank you to all my Solders and everyone who served in the military now or in the past. You are doing an awesome thing. Our country thanks your for that.

My First Entry!!

My first entry well let see? my name is Amanda and I come from a family of 10 children. I was born and raised in Arizona and just recently moved to Washington State. I moved here with a very good friend and her family. It was kind of a spur of the moment kind of thing. I have always wanted to move somewhere it’s cold and it snows but I didn’t think I would really do it. I have been here for almost 2 Months and WOW the weather is a lot different that Arizona. Much nicer. I was born with many medical challenges and continue to do well with them. I am Partially blind and partially Deaf.
　
Moving 1300 miles was rough on me and my family and still is. We traveled during the heat of the summer without AC. It took us a bit longer because we were pulling a trailer behind the car. We traveled through
Arizona
Utah
Idaho
Oregon
Washington
Our last night on the road we were almost to Washington and we got a flat on the trailer tire and slept on the side of the road until the morning. That was an eventful night. Did you know when you go through Oregon that when you stop to fill up gas that they have customer service come and fill up your tank, all you half to do is just pay for it. That was awesome.
We found a little house and within a couple of weeks were able to move in. If you sit out on our front porch you can see the Columbia River it’s about a mile away. We have already gone to the Columbia river and went swimming. It was COLD.
Now we have settled in our little home and the kids have started school FINALLY. The schools in Arizona started school in the beginning of August and the kids here started last week. WOW we were so ready for that. The kids love there new school and all there teachers. If you would like to know me more just add me on Myspace or Facebook. Thanks for reading
