I was in the 8th grade on September 11, 2001. I was in physical education class getting dressed when the gym teacher Mr. Kelly came in the lockeroom and said the towers were just hit. I remember not thinking nothing of it, but my school was walking distance from the world trade center in baltimore so then i started to get nervous. I still hadn't got a full idea of what was going on until for some reason most of my classmates were getting called out of class to go home early. Then i really started to get nervous. Then they finally turned on the tv around 9:45 and I was shocked and then i realized when it hit the pentagon that my grandparents and other relatives in dc may be in trouble, so i just prayed and when my mom came to get me we called our relatives and everything was ok. But i just remember feeling so bad for the people that died and so angry at whoever would do something so mean.
