“I
was quite shocked. I feel very sad for the people who died.
It was like a bad Hollywood movie.” said German exchange
student Roman Hiergeist.
Last Tuesday our country was changed forever as terrorists
flew hijacked planes into the World Trade Center, the Pentagon
and into a field in Pennsylvania. Many people lost their
lives as they started their workday. People in this area
learned of this horrible tragedy shortly after they woke
up Tuesday morning.
Blaine high school students joined the nation in a moment
of silence on Friday at 12:30. At the football game Friday
night a moment of silence was followed by music teacher
Andy Harmening singing the national anthem.
“This just goes to show the terrorists that they have
failed and it just unifies us as a country,” said senior
Ben Mallahan. “I don’t think anything terrible
will happen but the world will change.”
Students had mixed views on whether the U.S. should go to
war. “I think we should go to war because it shows
that the U.S. will stand up for themselves,” said junior
Ryan Johnson.
“I think we shouldn’t go to war because in 50
years we’ll have another war,” said junior Brandon
Kowalik.
“I think it is important to do whatever is necessary
to keep people safe,” said senior Ryan Gudmundson “I
think what happened on Tuesday will change the way people
act. I thought it brought the American nation together.”
