HORROR.
That is one word that clearly describes the feeling that went through me on September 11, 2001. I was listening to a lecture from my Science teacher, Mr. Chrisopherson, when all of a sudden, a lady knocked on the door. She asked if Mr. Christopherson would exit the room for a second and talk with her. About 2 minutes later, he arrived in the room. He didn't look too happy. He then informed us of what happened this day.
I heard all that had happened. I was shocked! I didn't understand why someone would want to kill so many innocent people. OSAMA BIN LADEN. Our teacher wrote his name on the board. Many of us didn't recognize his name, including me.
When I got home, my parents tried to explain as much as they could. I realized what happened, and I know that it wasn't an accident. Osama bin Laden is an evil man. What is crazy is that he attacked us, but what is crazier yet is that he is too afraid to back himself up and to face the U.S like a man. He is a big, lame coward.
Bin Laden killed many people that day, but he didn't kill America. America will live forever because we are a strong country. We have that pride that is undescribable. It is unbeatable. I am proud to be an American.
