43rd President of the United States, George W. Bush, in his speech, 9/11 address to the nation.

Exposition: Taking responsibility for one's actions, is the cornerstone (a step forward) to becoming an adult. It is a really upsetting thing, when an adult (let alone a president) doesn't take responsibility for their actions. At a kid's point of view (or a point of view of any), that is hypocrisy, hypocritical and makes a kid think. Those kids are thinking, 'Why do I have to take responsibility for my actions if they don't?". "Can I say something to someone and do the opposite?" (Which is the definition of hypocrisy). It is true, when you take responsibility for your actions, you can learn from them. Once you know you "screwed up" or made a mistake, you realize that what you did was wrong and are less likely not to do that mistake again.…

September 11, 2001 was a day in history that no one will ever forget. This day marked the terrorist attacks on New York City, when multiple airplanes crashed into two very remarkable landmarks, the Twin Towers and the Pentagon. As the buildings slowly fell to the ground burning, people watched as many others life’s flashed before their eyes. This was just after the millennium had taken place, and people were busy enjoying life in the city, when out of nowhere, a terrorist attack happened. People had no idea this was coming, and while many in the city saw it right in front of them the whole entire country watched it on the news wherever they may have been. These attacks were compared to the Pearl Harbor Attacks of 1941, one similarity being that the World Trade Center was at the heart of one of the world’s largest cities (Kaiser). I remember this day, when I was sitting in my third grade classroom and my teacher got a call from the office. She started crying and right after she had gotten the news we were all sent home. When I got home my TV was on and my mom was sitting in front of it crying. Though we did not have any family in New York, it was still a tragedy. We watched as the Twin Towers came crashing down and people jumping out. That day was a true tragedy that nobody will ever forget, however it has made our security, our people, and our country much stronger.…
