Blog #1

This is my first blog of the grade 9 school year, and it starts on a very interesting day. It is September 11, exactly 5 years after the initial attack on the WTC by the Islamic fascists. Right after I got home, I turned on CNN and watched there afternoon live coverage at ground zero. Shortly after, President Bush made his national address. In his speech, the President reiterated the topics of his past speeches on terrorism. In addition, he added a touch of poingancy by relating to his personal experiences with people who had suffered on that tragic day. Overall, the speech was well-written, and the fact that the President could memorize all that information astounded me. After the Presidential Address, I continued watching Larry King Live, in which Larry King interviewed some widows who had lost their husbands in the WTC incident, and also some survivors. One of them was blind, and his dog helped him get out of the Tower. It was an amazing story.
