911DA Story: Story

I was sitting in Reading when the Dean of students sent a letter to the teachers explaining everything, I didnt know what to think at first. I was scared and confused and didnt know if anything else was going to happen. I went on with my day helping my friends who needed me and my mom picked me and my sister up early, she just wanted everyone to be together. I never thought anything like this could happen ever. I turned on the TV but everything was coverage on the attacks. In december I went to Ground Zero. As soon as I saw the memorials I lost it.. i couldnt stop crying. To think that something that happens in a story book can happen in real life. I saw the rubble and the people working. I cant belive that they go in there and do that. They really are hero's for giving their lives for someone elses. New York and the United States will stand strong. And Everyone who is helping is doing a great job. I just want to say thanks to Everyone who is helping out at ground zero and even if i dont know you, you all are my heros!
