I had seen the first plane hit before I went to school on that sad day. I thought that it was just an accident. I had no idea that our country was under attack. I was headed to school not knowing what was coming in the next few hours. I was sitting in Biology class when it was near ending. A parent of another student came in and said that they were picking up their child due to the troubled times that America was under. None of us had any idea that we were under attack. One of the schools here in Pueblo had gotten a bomb threat. As I returned back to my home school. I had no idea what was happening on the other side of our country. When I got home that day I found out what had happened. What I saw on the television was horrifying. I had no idea who had done any of this. I was scared. I had to go and get some dance shoes and while on the way home the Pentagon was hit. I had no idea that this would be the worst day of our lives as Amercains. What had happened shocked me to death. I had no idea then what had ahppened. Intil I started watching the news. I saw over and over agian the planes crashing into the building. I could see the people jumping and I began to cry. I thought about all the women that had lost their husbands, all the men who lost their eives, all the children who had lost a mom or dad or aunt or uncle or grandma or grandpa. I thought about all the people who had lost a loved one in the world trade center. thousands of peope died. I am thankful that i am alive today. Something like this really makes you thankful for all that you have. I remember getting gas put in all of our cars and truck because people thought that gas prices would go up. It was a really sad day and I will never forget where I was and What I was doing. My prayers are still with all those who lost their families and lives. I give my respect to those who helped on tht day. Those who gave their lives to try and save another's. I still get tery eyed when I think about it. But this is my story of where I was I just thought that I would share it with you. Me being a teenager in today's world not really understanding the polotics of the country really does open their eyes when something like this happens. GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!!!!!!
