Argumentative Essay On Firefighters

On September 11, 19 people from from the Islamic extremist group, Al-Qaeda, hijacked four planes and did the unthinkable. They flew two planes, one for each tower, into each World Trade Center. These attacks caused a lot of death and destruction. On a beautiful Tuesday morning, the city of New York was woken up by one plane striking the north tower of the World Trade Center, near the 80th floor trapping hundreds of people on the above floors. It left a gaping hole in the side instantly killing anyone who was near the 80th floor. This was very bad because anyone above the 80th floor would be trapped and it would be very hard for rescuers to get to them. This attack on America left the whole nation scared for their lives. Many children left mother and fatherless, others didn't know where to go or what to do, our whole nation was in a panic. But,
after we saved who we could this attack brought us closer as a nation. It woke America up, and made up realize what needed to be done, we had to do something about all of this. If it wasn't for our policemen, firefighters and volunteers there would be no way that so many of the lives saved would have been saved.
For them to give their lives to save another is truly amazing. Being a policeman, firefighter or even a volunteer, you have to be a very selfless person. Going into either tower knowing you might not come out, it takes a different person to know that and still go in. I would want to be a policeman during this time because, I love giving my time to others. I love helping, especially if it means saving the life of another. I would like just being there for the people who are hurt. I would rather go into that tower and not come out than a lot of other people in there and for them not to come out and be with their
families. My help may not improve the situation, but I will risk my life trying to save another.
I would want to be in the building during this, because I want to be trying to find the people who are hurt and trying to help them. One of my natural instincts is to help others, and if I was a policeman during this time, I would have done everything I could to save
lives. If it was my day off I still would've gone and volunteered, gave my time for others.
I would've stopped what I was doing and went where they needed me. I would give my life if it meant it would save another, that's the kind of person I am. I would do it out of the kindness of my heart, not for the publicity or the fame that would be there after. That's not who I am as a person. I want people to be safe and if that means risking my life then so be it. The changes I would've made during 9/11 would be, I would give my life if it meant to save another. I would do everything in my power to help the people hurt and be there for the lost ones, find shelter, and see what needed to be done.
