It was my Junior year at fountain valley high school, i was gettin up early, like I always did, and i turned on the news, channel 11, and as i was eating my cereal I saw these two large buildings burning, and then the news was showing how 2 planes had crashed into it, then i saw the building claspe, and I was just sitting there watching it, not really knowing what was going on, I was in shock that it didn't register into my mind, and it was like a flash, but nothing there, i left to school with out saying nothing about it, but when i got to school and went into first period, that was all we did was talk about it, and watched the news all day, school was not school that day, i did nothing but watch the news. During my psychology class during the middle of the day was when it finally hit me, I was so blown inside and i didn't want to be in school. I was thinking about how there was going to be so much hatred in the streets and how this was going to effect our society, I knew people were going to be ridiculed for their beliefs, and i felt bad for all that suffered so much, there were so many families who lost their parents and sisters and brothers, i could think of how they felt, not even comprehend how it would feel. Our nation was attacked, but we worked together and got so much help that we made it through this, and know that it has been a year things or starting to look better, but no matter how long it's been we will never forget this tragedy.
