On September 11, I was in my room drying off from my shower. My bother called me from Florida and told me to turn on the television because a plane had hit a World Trade Tower. I immediately turned on the T.V. and saw smoke rising from the building. I was in shock. Being a sophomore in high school meant that I was only thinking about my life and the events around it. That day opened my eyes to the big picture and made me realize things such as that could and did happen. Now I am more aware of the events around the world that are happening. I will remember the event of the 11th forever.
