Today in human geography we talked about 9/11. We heard a personal story from Mr.Schick about the day he experienced at John Carroll. I also heard about Mrs.Zurkowski's personal experience at the John Carroll School on 9/11. They were very closely related but from different prospectives.

The last plane had an un-kown destination and crashed into a field in Pennsylvania. The most stressful part of my day was finding out that we have a big test tomorrow. There is a lot of information on the test and I am scared that I am going to fail. Also I had a fun weekend at the back to school dance and the football game. Today I got cleared finally to play soccer again. I am so happy!!!!!! We have a game Thursday and had a game tonight.
