I was in algebra class and a teacher from the school called my teacher into the hallway to tell her what was going on, and when she returned she just kind of said, "The World Trade Center has just been hit by a terrorist plane." It was only one of the first couple of days back to school. Everyone was tired and didn't want to be back in school, but coming back to school was the least of our worries now. A few people started crying and everyone had the same look on their faces. The look of disbeleif and shock. After that I went to lunch and every television was turned on and everyone was sort of crouded around watching history unfold. Thats when the second plane hit and the tower crumbled to the ground. It was the most terrifying thing I've ever seen.

I feel more thankful for what I have now, and I'm thankful that neither of my parents worked at the World Trade CEnter or in New York. I feel bad for the people who have suffered from the attack and for the families that knew anyone who worked their that had to watch everyhting happen on television knowing that they couldn't get through to the people they were worried about. I also feel angry that people from a different country could get into America, take one of our planes and use it against us.

I think one important thing that should be remembered about September 11th is the hard work put out by all the rescue workers and how eveyone, no matter who they were did everything they could to help with the disaster. ALso, I believe this event did bring Americans everywhere closer together.
