The recolections of the events of September the 11
I was at first, like any other day, not worried. I was going to classes doing work and learning, not knowing what was going on the world at that time. It was an ordinary day: nice, cool, and great; very beautiful. Who was to know what was going to unfold onto the people of America.
I first noticed something when people started leaving their classes I was in which was Social Studies. Then, more and more people started to leave. At that time, I felt a little queezy because this was not a regular thing to see. My class and I were starting to ask questions in which Mrs. Waitt had no answers for. The only thing she said is that there was a national threat. When I heard this, I was quite upset. The first thing that came to mind is that there was a nuclear attack which could be very bad.
At lunch, one of my friends said that the World Trade Center was bombed and had fallen down. I was very, very freightened by that because America would wage war on the country that did that. I then asked who told him that and he said it was a teacher whom I asked right after. She then varified that which at that time I felt even worse.
After recess, we were all brought to the gym to hear an anouncement about the attacks. We had many questions that were unanswered because there was insufficent supply of facts. My friends, including me, felt very bad and wanted to go home to see what happened.
During this time, I felt very bad and did not want to do anything but go home. It is hard to descibe the feelings I felt for they were so in depth, so real, words can not describe it alone. This is how i felt and fond out about the attacks on september the 11.
