I had to go to school at 8:30 that faithful day. I was sitting in Math class and around 9:55 am when my class is over someone came running down the hall telling us to turn on our TV. My teacher did after a few minutes and we saw what had happened to the 1st tower. Before this day I didn't even know what the towers were but I felt sympathy for those brave people. At 10:05 I was in my next class, on the way to class there was no one in the hallways talking loudly, everyone hurried to their next class.

My next class was Arts and Humanities, my teacher came running into the room and she turned on the TV. We were glued to it until that class was over. And for the rest of the day we watched the news in school to see what had happened, at the end of the day a teacher came on the intercome and explained for a final time what had happened.

This summer almost a year after the event I went to Somerset Pennslyvania and saw the site. It was very sad. I'd like to say I'm sorry to the families of all the victims and I hope that they have long and fruitful lives.
