The day that that the terrorists attacked our country was a day of fear and disbelief for many people. All i remember about how I felt was that I was confused. I had never hear dof the World Trade Center, Osama Bin Laden, and I didn't understand why it was so awful that they had been hit with a plane until I heard people say the words, "terrorist attacks." Those two words suddenly made me understand that events like 9-11 is what causes wars to start. Suddenly I knew why everyone was in such aw over the entire occasion. I found out later that day why it was bad that the world trade center was hit and found out what it even was. I herad horror stories about Osama Bin Laden and then understood why his name struck fear into the hearts of so many people. Everything all came together after the words, "terrorist attacks" were said to me. Even know hearing the phrase runs chills up my spine. Once I understood everything I couldn't help imagining what could all come from it. I thought about how we could actually go to war and started to think about how my life and the lives of everyone around me would change. My whole school was in shock on the day of September 11th 2001, and I believe that for the most part, it was for the same reasons that I have; confusion and then fear.
