That morning i remember me and my friends we being so silly during first block. We weren't doing our homework and we were just talking and laughing. Then once that class was over I was on my way to the cafeteria for nutrition break and i saw a bunch of people standing right inside and outside of the counslers office watching tv. So i asked one of my friends what was going on and she didnt know either so i went and watched the tv and my jaw just dropped and my eyes just bursted open in confusement. i wasnt sure what was happening but i saw the twin towers in smoke and a plane that had made a hole. I didnt know what to think and it was so horrifying i wasnt sure what to do. So i went to my friends and asked them what was going on as we went to our class. My teacher started to explain what had happened and i couldnt believe i was thinking is this really happenind. How could someone do that? IT was so awful but i didnt really feel anything except a small sadness and i was scared. Then all we did in that class and my next class was watch the news. My 4th block class we actually tried doing work but no one could consintrate. Most of the class evn asked the teacher if he could turn on the news but he wouldnt. Maybe he thought we shouldnt be watching it so much because it could be to devestating for us. I wasnt sure what he was thinking. I had noticed a lot of the kids went home because there parents were scared adn worried and thought they should be together during that time.
I didnt really feel and see how sad it was until this year. I'm not sure why i didnt. and I'm not sure why this happened. But i hope nothing will ever happen like this again. Because it was so hard for so many people and so many people lost loved ones and that has to be hard.
