I was on my way home from school ,and we knew somthing had happend. All day at school the teacher were talking in the halls about something ,but we didn't know what. So on my way home from school we went by a shell gas station and the flag was at half staff. when we saw that I knew something was wrong, but the World Trade Center was the last thing i thought happend. We went by another gas station and another and they were all packed. when Igot home no one was there so I called my mom on her cell phone she said that she was getting gas because of what happend and I didn't know what happend yet so she told me to turn on the T.V. When I saw what happend I was in shock. I ran outside and jumped on my bike to go talk to my friends about it we were all in shock. It was so sad we didn't know what to say.that day was so sad. That day i will remember for the rest of my life. I will tell my kids and their kids about this.
