911DA Story: Story

I was barely awake that morning, when I whent to school. My little brother whom was just a year youger than me, was just down the hall. It was his first year in middle school.
It was My second class of the day. My teacher was Mrs.- Lowis. Then on the entercom our priciple told everyone that
the World Trade Centers had been crashed into. I was not fimiler with the towers but that would change later on in
the day. When we heard this my teacher almost whent bizerk.
People begain to cry, it was mostly students.
When I got to my next class, Coach Hall was trying to reach one of his sisters on his cell phone. I asked him,"Coach whats up"?
he told me that his sister was working realy close to the
World Trade Centers. He later reached her,and we found out that she was O.K.
Every one started to check out of school.
I went home that afternoon, and got off the bus. As I entered the house all I could think off was, "YES" no homework. But I saw on the T.V. what could not seem to be real. Men and Wemon dangle from the sides of the towers,
some would jump from the sides, and knowing when they once
landed they would not survive.
My heart was ripped up as I saw those people. Husbands,wives,brothers,sisters,and loverswere separated frome one another.
It's hard telling you about it just like it was to watch it. Everyone was watchingthe T.V., I was beaten up inside. Now every time I think about the people who died that day I try to think of there family, and through them I find good memories of those lost
at 9/11.

P.S. Pardon me if I have spelled anything wrong, my
accent gets hold of me sometimes.
