I was in school and I just started spanish which is my second period class. I just heard some kids talking in the hall about something happening in New York. So some kids in my classes ask the teacher if we could turn on the T.V. to watch what happened. The teacher said yes because the teachers already new what happened. I start to watch and I saw the reports about the twin towers going down. I couldn't believe it because just the other year I was in New York for my first time. Some people said that it was terrorist but i wasn't sure until I heard that the other tower was hit and then I knew that it was not just a accident. After the reports of the buildings being hit they said that one was falling when I heard that I felt bad for all of the people in the building and i felt bad for all of there familys to. The report then said a couple a mintues later that the other build was falling to I knew then that there was no way to save any of the peoples lifes who were in the building. After second period I went to lunch and that was all me and my friends could talk about it was the subject of confersation. After lunch we want to flex and then to thrid period. In Thrid period since it was world cultures are teacher had us watch cnn to see if there were any other information about who caused the plains to run into the twin towers. The said that they thought was a group of talabands led by a man named bin ladin. After they said that they said that they had pitures of the people who high jaked the plain and they said it was do by 14 people. The talaband denied any information about bin ladin and who he was. After thrid period I went to fourth and there was to much going on then and since I was in gym are teacher made use go out side. After forth period I had to stay after school for soccer practice at soccer the crushes where all on are minds. Are coach was running about 30 mins late to practice he said that it was becuase he was try to call someone he knew from college that worked in the on tower. He seemed pretty emotional about it. So we talked about how it impacted are day so we had a lite practic and then we want home. I remeber getting home and my dad being home and he said they closed the music story he worked at it seemed like it was impacting everyone even if they didn't live in New York or know anyone in New York. That night the only thing on was cnn and the news. We couldn't find anything eles so we watched it. After that the president came on and gave a speech. I thought that the speech helpe the country to think there was hope and to make them feel better. I also think that it made the talaband scared becuase what they did to try and hurt are country actually made us stronger as a country. I think one resone that we are so stronge as a country right now is because of what happened last year. I just think it is sad that it took two towers to go do for are country to become more united and stand up together. I never really want any where in plains to much but I'm a little scared to but I know that everything is alright. I also know that together as a country nothing can hurt us no matter what.
