The morning of September 11th had started out like any other day. I woke up, did my morning routine, then went downstairs to the kitchen to eat breakfast. I turned on the TV to see the weather forcast like I always do, but there was no weather forcast this time. All I could see was smoke. I wasn't really sure what was going on until I saw a plane fly right into one of the twin towers. I couldn't believe my eyes. My mom came down and saw the TV and asked what had happened. I told her that I wasn't sure but a plane had hit one of the twin towers. After watching for a few minutes I went to school. I came early to my U.S. History class and saw that my teacher was watching the news as well. When class had started, everyone was talking about what had happened. We watched the news for most of the period and had a discussion on it. Everyone said that they were just stunned. Everything seemed like a movie. There was talk about it all over school. When I went home I found my dad watching the news. I asked him if they found out anything new. He told me that terrorists had caused all the destruction. Everything just didn't seem real. For weeks I watched the news, seeing all the chaos going on in New York. Life would never be the same for the people of New York and for the whole country as well.
