i woke up to get ready for school and was about to eat breakfast when my mom came up to me and told me about the first plane hitting one of the towers. i couldn't believe what she told me. we then began watching the news before i headed off to school. As we were watching we witnessed the second plane crash into the second tower. i couldnt believe what had just happened, i can still see the image of the plane hitting the tower in my head. i think this really makes the people of the United States realize that we are not inivisible and that the wars that go on in the middle east year round could happen to our country to. This generation of teenagers has always looked at war in the past and has never thought of it occuring again. I am proud to be part of such an outstanding country. This event is a terrible thing but it has opened our eyes and shown us what our country could be like if we didnt have the great leaders and the people who made America what it is today. For that i thank God.
