Dear diary,

In relation to what Asami has said, only 3,000 people died that day. I know I sound careless when it comes to the number 3,000, but that would only be 1,000 more students attending my old high school and I am sure there are high schools with over 3,000 students. Those 19 hijackers could have chosen to take over more planes, and crash into even more buildings surrounding the twin towers, but you know what? They didn't, and THAT is something we need to remember and be thankful for, along with those who survived in the surrounding buildings. Not just remember the lives that were lost. It was a tragic day but considering how easy it was for those terrorists to do what they did, the death count could have been doubled, tripled, and even gone into the tens of thousands. I'm thankful that was the number, I really I am. That doesn't make me happy people lost their lives, it just makes me grateful the number wasn't more.

Miranda.
