When i first heard about what happened it was the end of my drill team's morning rehersal, about 9:30 in the morning at circle (a tradition we do every day after practice where we make announcements and give each other compliments) our director, mrs loomis told us she had very important news. she told us that a plane had crashed in to one of the towers of the world trade center. at first we were all really surprised and at first and none of us really knew what to say, then as we were getting dressed for school in the locker room we had the radio on listening to the news and the updates, all day we kept hearing more reports about what happened and we were really worried about whether there was goign to be any more attacks, since we live in the capital of texas some people were afraid they'd try to blow up the capital down town. all in all it was a very surprising day, and not in a good way.
