Bombings
It was a typical day for me on Tuesday the 11th. I woke up like it was any other day and went through my usual routine to get ready for school. It wasn't till I arrived at the Delta parking lot and turned off my CD player that I found out about the World Trade Center. I was running a little late for music class, but decided to quickly tune into the radio to check the weather. That was the first I heard of what happened to the twin towers. However, I really didn't get the full story until I got to class, where the teacher briefly talked to us about that mornings incredible event.

The second thing is that racism will never end. There will always be stubborn people out there that aren't smart enough to know who is the bad guy and who is the good guys. I thought we are supposed to be united, but racism makes it hard to come together. Innocent people have died is because of people being prejudice or racist. The United States has always had racism. Hate crimes happen because racist people feel like they have to take revenge and everyone is going to be ok with it. If they weren't racist, hate crimes would never take place. They just have a lot of anger and they decide to take it out on the first person that looks at them different.
