It was a day that will and cannot be forgotten. I was sitting in class doing my work, when another teacher informed us that a plane had just hit one of the twin towers. So our teacher turned on the television, it finally came to the students that America was under attack by a bunch of ruthless cowards. Then we saw the second plane hit the remaining tower. A whole bunch of emotions flew over the rest of class and I.


It was the day after my fourteenth birthday and I was in complete shock. Everything and everyone came to a complete stop. I think that something like that would never in a million years happen to a country like the United States of America. This attack on our great country should have never happened but it did. This type of stuff happens to other countries, which always have problems about their government or something in that sort of nature. Every day you read about stuff that happens in the far east and you suddenly find this attack splashed all over the news and on magazines through out the entire world.

? I thought oh my god, this can?t be happening to us, the United States. Just yesterday I was celebrating with the joy of my son?s birthday. Oh my god the horror, terror, the devastation, this can?t be happening. I remember being called up to the office later that day to be informed that I was being sent home. I got my things and left the school with my mom. When I was home, the event was on television and they were explaining what had just happened to the U.S.

So I finally sat down and relaxed and thought to myself how many people lost loved ones while in the building and how many people were lucky to come out of the buildings before they came crashing down. I my mind I just wanted to find who was responsible for the attack turn them in and watch them get what they had coming. Later on that night, my family and I went to church and we gather around to pray for those who lost their lives. We also prayed for those who still weren?t sure that they had loved ones inside the building or not. It just shows how creepy and horrifying that day was for people who were in the city of New York. So after listening to our pastor talk about what had just happened to our country, we all went home to sit down and relax and think about the whole day in general. We watched some television and then went to bed.

It will be a day that cannot and will never be forgotten for years and years to come for those people who lost their lives in the World Trade center. The day was known as a day of fear, sadness and complete angry.
