Like every other morning my alarm would go off at 7:00AM, an hour to get ready for school. I get up and turn on to channel 26, which is Great Day News by the KMPH FOX 26 to check for the weather forcast so i know what to wear or look out my window. The first thing that pulled my attention was the breaking news, I sat back down and was speechless and was shocked. I began to pray to God for those who were the victims and who had lost their love ones. I then called my parents to inform them about this tragedy which they havnt known yet until i told them. They came in and took a good 5 second look and left the room into the living room so they could watch it on the big screen. I went out and watched it with them along with my brother and sister. That morning was no ordinary day, I was not up for anything except just thinking, "Who would do this?, Why would they do that?" Many lives were lost, little ones left behind, spouseless, lost husbands and wives. Well I had no choice but tried not to think about it too much and did the regular routine, took a shower, brushed my teeth, dressed myself, ate breakfast, and left for school. When I got to school that even made me feel little bit more uncomfortable because I was away from my family and basically everyone talked about the tragedy. Nothing else was discussed about. Even in most of the classes, some teachers had the TV on all day long. When the bell rang and I went on to my next class, which is U.S. History, we were suppose to take a test, but we ended up discussing about the tragedy and watched the news. September 11, 2001 will never be forgotten for the people who witnessed it. It will remain in our history forever. I personally think that this tragedy made our country closer to each other and I'm glad that people got closer. And many had felt more Patriotism but Until then we have to work amongs each other, together as one to become stronger for the nation.
