NMAH Story: Story

September 11 was and still is a very tragic day, full of sadness and sorrow. I don't remember much because i try to block out all the pain it caused me. The one thing I do remember is when i first herd of the awful news. I got wind of the terrible news during a bus evacuation in seventh grade. The bus driver was telling us not to move, to always stay seated, and the usaual things then he told us that two planes had hit the Twin Towers in New York and i was like Oh my God. When I went back into school my mother, who work in the school, came up to me and asked me if I was alright. I replayed the scene back to her and, asked her is that true about the twin towers. She said, "yes". After school ny mom spoke to me about he plans and how they hit the Twin Towers. But i really didnt get the full story until i got home and saw the footage that would change my life forever. That's when my mother and I saw the twin Towers fall to rubble. It was scary knowing that an airplane can destroy a skyscraper with one blow. After my mm and I saw the footage, she went out with my step-dad to my little brother's open house. I was home alone scared but prepared for the worst. I talked to a lot of my friends about it. I went to bed scared to peices but I knew i had nothing to be scared of because i had my mom, dad, step-dad, and brother. That is my remembrence os September 11.
