// I can’t even describe the emotions I feel when I see things about 9/11. It amazes me how someone can look through all the things people would consider trash; and find a way to change it into something beautiful and meaningful. For example taking pieces of the steel from the World Trade Center and giving each state a piece of it, so everyone can remember that day and see how strong America is to overcome that day. I get goose bumps just talking about it. Another thing that touched my heart was the mother of a firefighter who died. After they went through all the ashes, they found her son’s firefighter helmet. They delivered it to her, and she was able to pull her sons brown hair out of the hat. It touched me because on the Ten Year Anniversary of 9/11 my boyfriend, Ben, former student of Mr. Crute, of three years, was upset that day because he wished he was there to help. He would have given his life to save thousands. He is nineteen years old, and he was born with firefighting in his blood. I put myself in the mother’s shoes and asked my self what would I have done if it was Ben’s helmet they handed me? // ======
