On the day of September 11, 2001 I was in second period Social Studies. I remember my teacher getting a call and leaving the room. A little while later she came back in and she was cry. Everyone was asking what was wrong and she told us that her husbands friend was in one of the WTC. She didn't exactly tell us that they had been hit by a plane. My teahcer had left again and came back in and said that we were going to the Science room. As we walked in people were watching t.v. I sat down and just looked at the t.v. and was very shocked. I couldn't believe what has happening. We stayed in the Science room for a while. Then as we went to every other class we just sat and watched t.v. A lot of the kids in my school where crying because there family members had been in the towers. Some of the kids had family members die. I remember the pricipal come on the anouncements and say that all after school activities had been cancled. For the rest fo the day I watched t.v. and thought how could they do this to us. The next day at school when the morning anouncments came on everyone had a moment of silence to remember what had happened. The principle talked for a while about what had happened and if anyone need someone to talk to there would be people to talk to about what had happened. The next few days after it had happened my school had a blood drive and I remember all the younger kids trying to give blood and I wanted too but we were not allowed. Everyday for a while after September 11th we had a day that we wore something in memory of September 11th and every where we went around where I lived you could see flags around on people's houses. A few miles away from where I live they built a big pole and put a big flag up to remember September 11th. On one of our school walls kids painted firefighters picking up a flag. I will never forget September 11, 2001.
