On 9-11-01, I was up very early, about 5:30 pacific time. I was eating breakfast in front of the TV and I turned on the news. It took me a long time to really realize what was going on, at the time I had no idea that this was done on purpose. Once I realized that this was no accident I was so incredibly scared. I went to zero period that started at 6:30 pacific time and we watched the news in there. By this time only the first plane had hit, but as we were watching we saw the second plane hit. It was the most terrifying thing that I have ever seen, I honestly felt like I was watching a movie, I didn't want to believe that this was really happening. I just cant imagine what it would be like to be in those buildings, and finding no way out. I couldn't believe it when I saw those poor, innocent people jumping, choosing their death. I am so proud that we have courageous fireman and policeman that would give up everything for people This is a day that I will ALWAYS remember and I will forever pray for those people who lost their lives on 9-11.
