I can remember sitting in my homeroom class hearing a few people talking about it but no one had heard any kind of confirmation of it yet. A few minutes later the bell rang to go to my first period class. I can remember wondering what all everyone was talking about in my keyboarding class when the announcements came on the intercom. Right after the announcements went off my teacher turned on the TV so we could find out a little more about what happened. I can remember a lot of other students walking to the office crying trying to call home. Everyone is my class mouth dropped. No one could believe what he or she had just heard. We kept the TV on all through first period. I think I started crying around when the towers fell. I can remember asking God how He could do such a thing to all of these innocent people. At lunch I called my dad and asked him how my family was and if he was planning on coming to pick me up. Later on when I got home my family and I just turned on the TV and watched the news from around 4 until 10:30 that night. Normally my family will all sit down and eat dinner together and turn off the TV but that night we left it on and our prayers that night were a little longer and my family got a little closer.
