When i first heard that something had happened at all i was in my 3rd period math class, i didn't really know yet exactly what had happened my teacher didn't want to give us information she said may not be true. I found out what was happening and that a plane had flown into the World trade center in my next class. at first it seemed unreal, people were telling me what happened and i didn't believe them i thought they were all joking untill my teacher turned on the T.V. and the first thing i saw was the broadcast of the plane hitting the building and even still it felt like this can't be, this can't be happening to America. I remember some of the students being happy that we were having an early dismisal and there would be no more work but the only thing on my mind at the time was to get in touch with my mother to find out if she heard and to make shure she knew i was ok. Know i just feel like the mourning period is over. We should never forget, but we should try to move on or else they've won and accomplished what they seeked out to do.
