I was on the way to school when i had learned of the grave news. It from the radio that i had first heard about the plane crashing into the first tower of the World Trade Center. It was hard to believe that America was being attacked by terrorists. The news report sounded something from out of a movie or book. When i had arrived to school, i heard some students conversing over what they had heard about the incident. I could not believe it. How could America be under attack? I thought we were an invincible country. In the past year, i have learned that though we are not indestructable, we are not a weak nation either. The people of this country are still standing and will fight back. 9/11 was a sad day, but we are not finished. Life goes on, and we will live it to its fullest.
