Before September 11th, I was happy to come to school.
That all changed that morning. I went to first period Spanish class
and then to English. We were working on an essay about the
Taliban. My teacher was explaining what the Taliban was to me.
After that class, I went to my social studies class and everything
changed becasue of the attack in New York City. Right as I entered
the class, a friend of mine came up to me saying that a plane had
attacked. I did see the second plane hit the building on the T.V.
They attacked two buildings in New York.
When the airplane flew at the building I was very scared.
I just watched it and didn't talk to anyone. I didn't want to stay
in school. Instead I wanted to be home with my family. On
the T.V. I heard people yelling. I also saw people jump out of the building.
On the news on T.V., I saw a lot of people die. I saw the people run
and how scared the people were when they saw the building go
down. I had never seen something like this in my country, Mexico.
Now my life is different. I am scared this will happen again
in the United States. I'm scared of another surprise attack because
we don't know how many people do not like the United States.
