911DA Story: Story

I can remember when school had just started and I was getting ready for school. I was listing to one of my mix CD's. When I got to school I was looking around trying to friend one of my friends to tell me what was the history homework. I was worried because I forgot to do my homework. When it was break in our school I started to see teachers talking to each other and I was kind of getting worried because I over heard that a plane had crashed in the world trade center at first I was trying to figure out where was it but then I remembered. Then I was rushing to my class to see what was going on. Then is we started to watch the news and we saw that one of the towers was in smoke.
My first reaction was "whoa who did this." I couldn?t believe my eyes, in my head I couldn?t image a plane hit into a building, but then I watch as the second plane went into the second tower. That just made me feel kind of sad, angry, bad, but mostly stunned. I thought that was it just those to planes because the news said that all the fights are not to take off into the air. I heard that a third plane had hit the pentagon, I could not imagine how people all over the country were feeling, but I could see how people were in shock, in terror, in grief.
Thought the whole day I was just thinking about it, how are things going to be after this day, how people gonna look at each or come together, are things gonna change with the airport. All this was on my mind during school and after school when I got home "man this is just crazy. I could still remember in chorus we were sing some America song and that day we sang our hearts out.
