I remember going to school not knowing wat happened because i didnt turn on the radio that day. And when i got to my school all my friends asked me did you hear what happened, and i was no what happened. And my friends were saying that a plane hit the World Trade Center in NY. I couldnt believe it. I remember my first period teacher talking about a terrorist attack. But i still couldnt believe it or realize the full effects of what just happened. In my photo class which is 2nd period we watched it the whole period. And then i saw the 2nd plane hit. I was so shocked. I finally realized this is scary. I couldn't believe that terrorist could have the capability to attack the United States of America. I fianlly relized how vunerable everyone was. That anyone could get hurt and anytime. It was a very tragic time then. Even before this I didnt really know wat the World Trade Centers were until this happened. I didnt really know anyone who died in that attack and I thank God for that, But i cant imagine the pain these people are going through. What was really amazing was the unity of our country. thats wat I remember very well. On T.V how the fire fighters helped save so many people and the police officers to. I think when i look back on this. It will effect me forever. God Bless America !
