Well i was a sophmore in high school and i was in my World History class when we heard the news about the plane hittin one of the World Trade Center. I didnt think much of it. I dindnt know what that was or anything. Zapata is a really small town and really i lived in my world. but as the day went on and i got to my 3rd period class which was ROTC. We went in to the class room and he had us sit and told us taht "somethin horrible was happenin in America right now." and then he turn on the tv and the news keep replay this image which was an airplane going right thourgh a building and i was stunned cause i had never seen anything like it and then i saw people jumpin out of the towers. i started cryin not out loud but stilli couldn't belivie what i was seen. I remember goin home and tunin to the new just to seem if there was anything new about the attacks. i cried for about 3 weeks i just couldnt get it thourgh my head how someone could do this.
