SEPTEMBER 11Th
On this tragic day I was in English class. I remember the teachers conversing about this big commotion about terrorist, planes, and the twin towers. The rest of our school day we watched this act in every class.

One of the things I remember most about September 11th was it was like a broken slide show it kept showing the planes hit the towers over and over again. How it affected me was it was very depressing to see all these innocent people drown in metal and glass. It also affected me cause the fact that the towers are gone was very sad.

Another thing I remember was coming home to see my family gathered around the television watching this event. It affected me cause it made me want to watch it more. And gain more knowledge on what was happening.

One of the last things I remember is before going to bed I seen the video of how people where actually jumping out of the windows of the towers as there only escape out of the towers. It affected me to see them jumping out it made me excited and mad. It was hard to sleep that night.

So in conclusion this event affected the way we live and everyone?s lives. It was the talk of the country for a year now. And we will see that it doesn?t happen again.
