On the morning of September 11th I was attenting school. I was informed on the news of the bombing about 1 o'clock that after noon. Radio stations were goping hay wire everyone was afraid and in a panic and so was I. I had never heard of a war before that happened so close to me. I've only heard of horrible things like that happening in the history books. But it was clear this day that this was really happening. Lots of things went through my mind I thought it was the end of the world and this was the way that God had planed us to die. My teachers husband is a fire fighter and she couldn't get in contact with him because the phones for out of state calls were cut. She paniced more then we all felt for her. I didn't know if any of my family was involved in the incident but I felt for the innocent lives taken by these people. It frightned me to think that the people you love could be gone in the blink of an eye. Who gave these terrorist the right to take the lives of people they haven't given life to. No one has the authority to do such horrible things. Now there are babies and children who are alive but are ALONE because their parents are dead. My whole day on September 11th was a catastrophe. People crying, screaming out to God to just take them if they must go this way. I'm seventeen years old and have never seen anything so dramatic before. This was certainly a day I'll never forget September 11th 2001 will br remembered by all I'm sure but for those gone and for those who got hurt and are lost I'm praying for you everyday. God heard our cries and our prayers he came through we as Americans have lost much and were affected in a major way but we made it through to another year.
