September 11, 2001

               September 11, a day of hardship and suffering, but also a day of bravery and heroism. On this day, terrorist's associated with the al-Qaeda extremist group took over four planes. Two of these planes targeted the World Trade Center's towers. One flew into the Pentagon and another in an open field in Pennsylvania. These attacks were meant to cause mass destruction and chaos on the American people. At this, they were successful in doing so. Over 3,000 people lost their lives this day due to these terror attacks.

               Although this day was full of grief, brave men and women appeared and exemplified their courage to save hundreds of people's lives. This was displayed when one of the planes was hijacked. A number of passengers realized that they were not going to make it to an airport safely. So, they derived a plan to stop the terrorists. They overthrew the terrorists by attacking the cockpit. The plane then flipped over and spiraled to the ground. There were no survivors, but this was an example of true bravery within the passengers. They ultimately stopped an additional terror attack on an unknown location. These passengers saved hundreds of people's lives.

Strengths and Challenges

                My strengths as a writer are organization and word choice. I have learned how to allow a thesis to lead my paper and give my paper its general order. This is significantly allowed my writing to be much more organized. My word choice has also been bettered. I have learned how to find meaningful words that help my writing be as specific as possible.                 I still need to work on voice. Sometimes, I do not use the right kind of writing styles to fit what my audience likes. For example, I struggle with when to use informal and formal styles. All of these areas are important because, as I continue to develop my writing knowledge, they will help me answer my rhetorical situations better. They will help me answer questions and prompts, and they will help me get my point across fluently and with ease.

Where Is It?

               Dr. Dean, a cardiac surgeon, hears the dreaded noise. Oh no, not that noise , Dr. Dean thinks to himself. He rushes to find the defibrillator.                "Where is it, where is it?" Dr. Dean whispers in a frustrated voice, meanwhile seeing no sign of the defibrillator he most desperately needed.                The nurses rush in. The anesthesiologist checks her calculations, making sure she did not make the mistake no one wanted to have to break to Bill's parents. Surgeons sprinting to find the nearest doctor that could help.                "How could I have let this happen? I promised them he would be okay," Dr. Dean says, anxiously still looking for the stubborn instrument.                It has been fifteen minutes, no progress has been made on the hunt for the defibrillator. Dr. Dean's glimmer in his eyes flickers out. He realizes he must break the news to the parents. He walks, slowly, keeping track of each new step he takes.

Snow Days

               These past few days off were definitely a surprise for me. I didn't think the school was going to even get canceled on Tuesday. So it's been great to have a lot of days of from school. I have been working on my emergency closure lessons every day. I haven't been having soccer practice, though, because it's been too cold.                I have been taking these days to hang out with friends a bit, too. Today, I actually went over to someone's house to watch movies and hang out for a while. It was really fun to get out of the house and to not be working a school work. I am really looking forward to having a one-day week this week!
