I was in art class on 9-11. I was just laughing and joking with my friends when one of the secrataries from the office came in. She pulled me into the art office. I thought I was in trouble. The first thing she said was your dads okay. I thought, what is she talking about, what happened to my mom. She said there was an accident and that 2 planes crashed into the twin towers and one in the pentagon. I just started to lose it, I was crying and couldn't think at all. My dad works at the pentagon and I was so afraid. She kept telling my that he was okay and I coudn't tell any one what had happened. So I went back to my seat and starred into space, I was so scared. Then I called my mom and asked how my dad was, she said he was fine and that she had talked to him. Even though he was okay, I was still very scared. I don't know what I would have done if I lost my dad. I'm so thank full that nothing happened to him, I love him so much and I wish that no one had to go through the pain that day. My heart goes out to the victums of 9-11-01.
