911DA Story: Story

DURING 9/11 LAST YEAR, I WAS AN EIGHTH GRADER AT BJHS. I WAS IN P.E. WHEN ONE OF MY CLASSMATES CAME IN TELLING PEOPLE THAT THE WORLD TRADE CENTERS HAD BEEN ATTACKED. I THOUGHT HE WAS LYING, SO I WENT TO MR. HOWARDS ROOM ONLY TO SEE A PICTURE OF THE TWO PLANES FLYING INTO THE TWIN TOWERS, AND THEN A PLANE GOING INTO THE PENTAGON.

WHILE THIS WAS HAPPENING I WAS IN TOTAL SHOCK AND DISBELIEF. SOON AFTERWARD ANOTHER PLANE CRASHED AT PENNSYLVANIA, BUT HADN'T KILLED ANYONE, EXCEPT FOR THOSE THAT WERE ON THE PLANE.THAT NIGHT WHEN PRESIDENT BUSH ADDRESSED THE NATION, I FELT OVERCOME WITH PRIDE FOR OUR COUNTRY. I STILL HAVE THAT PRIDE TODAY.
