I woke up late that morning and was in a rush to get to school. MY dad usually takes me to school every morning but today he was on the couch watching the T.V. I wondered what he was watching and I saw a building on fire. He told me it was the twin towers and a plane had just crashed into it. What was weird, was that my aunt all the way in Hong Kong saw this before us and called my dad and told us what had just happened. IN all of my classes the t.v. was on. We got nothing done and all we talked about the horrific attacks. IT was unbelievable that night all my favorite television programs were playing the crash over and over trying to inform the viewers the latest news. They found out it was no accident and it was terrorists? fault. The whole thing was depressing but this incident made everyone come together in courage and strength. After that I felt happy and proud to be an American.
