It was a normal day so I thought as i put my coat and and shoes on to walk 2 blocks to school. It was then when all the tv's in school were turned on, every channel had breaking new, I was so very confused at the time till then our english teacher had explained that terrorist had crashed suicide planes into the twin towers and people were dying and hurt. My heart then dropped though it felt and my stomach began to clench up. I was so fill with confusion and anger that i felt tears rush down my cheeks, trying to hold them back so my classmates would not see. My friend ricky's sister lives in New York and her husban, Ricky's brother in law was late to work that day, he worked at the world trade center. And to this day we thank God for all those workers late for work that day. Only if we could have saved more. This thing called war is still going on today and i have friends there in Iraq with wifes and even kids they havent been able to see, touch, kiss, or hug. I pray for the soldiers out there fighting for what they believe in and showing our countries people that our Freedom is not free so to be thankful for those out there fighting and dying for us. God Bless America!
