Today in Human Geography, we remembered nine eleven, and the lives lost on nine eleven. Mr. Schick told us about his personal experience with nine eleven. he had just started teaching, and they were in back to school mass when the principle made the announcement that a jet had crashed into one of the world trade center’s then late the other world trade center, then the Pentagon, and finally the last one crashed into an open field because of the heroic acts of the civilian passengers on board. He later told us that even one of his student’s dads had had a meeting on nine eleven and didn't make it out alive, and they didn't even find his body until days later. After that discussion, we went over the material for the test on Tuesday, this will be my first high-school test. I am praying and thinking of the lives lost on nine eleven.
