I got to school and saw all my friends their they were al talking about it i told them what i saw,and what i tought,just as i was telling them one of my teachers came out and told us about the pentegon.just then it hit me i felt like we were all going to die.i started to cry and all my friens started to pray with me soon the whole school startded to pray we were all scared.The school i went to back then is a christian school and we prayed every morning but this time it was diferrent we prayed with such power that everyone broke into tears.God realy touched me right there i was crying like i never did before.later that day i heard about the other things that happend,we were all so sad,and during the whole school period we prayed and asked God to help us.That was the most acariest day of my life.Thank God that i am still alive and all the people that might read this should also be gladd that their are alive and well and did not go through the pain that those people that died whent through.god has blessed us with all that we have so we should be thankfull.
God Bless!
