911DA Story: Story

On Sept. 11th I was in my 6th grade class learning about the state of Tennessee, when all of a sundden my principal came on over the intercom. She was said that all the teachers had to go to a confrence. They left us all there to watch the movie Charlettes Web. As i looked around they class kids slowly departed from the class. I then found out that their parents were taking them out of school. it was not just 3 or 4 kids but as many as 20 to 30 kids just from the 6th grade class.

Later my mom did the same and took me out of class. At first i thought it was a good thing, until we turned on the TV and saw what happened. At first i didnt understand but later i found out that we have been attacked. My first impulsive reaction was to ask if dad was ok who works in the pentagon. Luckaly he was out of town in FL.

This day was very scary to me and i learned alot about our country too.

God Bless America.
