I WAS GOIN TO FIFTH PERIOD AND THERE WAS A T.V. ON AND MY TEACHER TOLD US ABOUT WHAT HAPPEND AND AT THE TIME I REALLY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THE TRADE CENTER WAS, UNTIL LATER THAT DAY. I WENT HOME HOME EARLY BECAUSE WE HEARD THAT ANOTHER PLAIN WOULD HIT THE EPCOT, WHICH IS LIKE TWENTY MINUTES AWAR\Y FROM WHERE MY SCHOOL WAS. SO I CALLED MY MOM TELLING HER WHAT HAD HAPPENEND AND SHE TOLD ME THE REST AND SAID THAT SHE WOULD PICK ME UP RIGHT AWAY. WHEN I GOT HOME I WENT STRAIGHT TO MY MOMS ROOM AND WATCHED THE NEWS WITH MY WHOLE FAMILY. I COULD NOT BELIEVE MY EYES, SEEING ALL THOSE PEOPLE JUMP OUT THE BUILDING MADE ME SO SICK INSIDE. AFTER A WHILE I COULD'NT TAKE THE SIGHT OF IT ANY LONGER SO I WENT IN MY ROOM THINHKING "WHY DID THESE PEOPLE DO THIS TO US? ",WHAT DID WE DO WRONG TO HAVE THIS DONE TO THE U.S.?"MY MIND WAS GOING EVERYWHERE. UNTIL THIS DAY I THINK ABOUT WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN NEXT. BUT WHATEVER HAPPENS TO US I KNOW THAT WE FOUGHT HARD AS AMERICANS AND I'LL BE PROUD AND HONORED THAT I AM AN AMERICAN. I STILL HERE RUMORS TODAY THAT SOMETHING BAD IS GONNA HAPPEN TO US, BUT I TRY TO IGNORE IT AND THINK OF THE GOOD TIMES I HAD IN THIS BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY AND THE GOOD TIMES I'LL HAVE IN THE FUTURE IN THIS COUNTRY. LIKE WE ALWAYS SAY IN AMERICA "GOD BLESS AMERICA OUR HOME SWEET HOME".
