i was in second period computer class when the first plane struck the towers.at first we all thought it was bad, but not nearly as horrendous as it turned out to be.we thought it nothing more than a terrible accident.how wrong we were.our reactions were mixed; there was laughing at what some thought was an elaborate hoax to crying as a few realized the immensity of the tragedy.when we woke up that tuesday morning, we didnt know that our perception of the world around us would be altered tremedously so soon.
