911DA Story: Story

I remember the day before sitting in American History talking about the wars that had happened, and the boy sitting behind me asked the teacher, "Do you think we will go to war again?" and the teacher replied, " No, because there is much equipment now that the government uses that we know everything that going on around the world." The next day the same teacher came into the gym and said go to your classrooms and turn on the TV because America is under attack. It was the scariest thing I believe I had ever felt. My mom rushed down to get my brother my the middle school, and coming to check me out of school. Sometimes we take things for granted and my generation really didn't know what it felt like to be under attack but now we do and we will always take that with us and tell the story of where we were when the world stopped for those brief moments as we watched our world go under attack!
