Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I was leaving my Math Class to go to the bathroom, when I was coming back I heard a staff member yell "Quick! Turn to ABC!" I really didn't pay any attention cause I had no idea what was going on. When Math Class was over, I was walking to my Langage Arts class until a friend of mine yelled, "Amanda! did you know what happened?" and I said "No". My friend then said " 2 airplanes just when through the WTC and its big news" and I said " Well, I wouldn't worry about it. Maybe is was just a plane that was going out of control" I said that cause I didn't know it was terrorisum. When I walked to class, my teacher had the news on and all of my classmates were watching the T.V. My eyes got big when they kept replaying what happened to the buildings over and over again on the T.V. Instead of going over L.Arts, my teacher explained to us what happened and we watched the news for the rest of the hour. The whole day I thought to myself, " Why would someone want to do that to the US when we are so nice to other countries and don't wany any wars and nothing but world peace? and why are there even wars?" I was so lost that day. When I got homw from school, my mom was on the couch watching the news and I told her that I didn't understand. She tried to explain it to me but still I was confused. I went in my room and got on my computer and went online. I had got some e-mail from my cousin who lives in New Jersey and only 20 minutes away from New York City. I didn't check it yet though so I got off and did my homework. After dinner and from getting out of the shower, my Dad came home from work and sat down with my Mom on the couch and watched the news with her all night and recorded the events that took place. Before when I was going to go to bed, I remembered to check that e-mail that my cousin sent me. When I read it. It showed the Twin Towers at night and it was playing "Proud to be an American" in the background. It was a poem about September 11 and the WTC. I cried so much after I read it and then I undestand the pain that the people who had lost a love one. My Mom came in and hugged me and told me that everything was going to be alright. As I watched the news the next day, I would cry everytime I saw the Twin Towers fall.
