Well on September 11 it started has a reguler day for everyone i got up around 6:00am to head of to school. well around the time the plane had it WTC tower 1 i was sitting in 3rd p.d class. while are principle says hold all classes. then about 5 min later he came back on the PA system and told what have happen. About that time some people had came outside to tempery class rooms and said that we where not safe out here. So we were moved inside.while i am crying im trying to find out why this happen.i mean i am 15 now but was 14 when it happen. i gussed i understand some what of what was going on but not sure why it was going on.well about an hour later we had to be sent home. that hour was the longest hour of my life.when i finaly got home walking up over the hill to my house with my friends crying and sad of what had happen. i stoped and looked uo in the sky. there was no clouds in site and all was still no planes. thats wired cuse i only live 15 min away from BWI airport. then it really hit me that this had happen to our country and still not really undertsanding why.Then i finaly got in my house and watch how the towers had fell and all the people that where still in there and thinking how terbile that is.that the world had changed for ever but in the end it only made us stronger.looking around all i see is people helping one onther out and putting aside the little things.i guess it's kinda hard to understand how i feel cuse i am only a teen but it's kinda hard in all
