It was just like any other day in Warsaw, New York People going to work kids going to school. Until we all found out what happend. I was going to 2nd period and I remember my friend telling me that the pentagon has been hit. I didnt think much of it at the time, Until I got to my next class when they were passing flyers around saying Please close the doors and Lock them do not let the children out of there classes until the bell rings please clothes all windows and shades. We had no idea what was going on and alot of us started to freak out. Until we hard that the twin towers have been hit. I was so scared I didnt know what was going on We thought that the whole nation was under attack I thought the school was going to be attacked. I was so nervouse and shocked at the same time. I was so sick to my stomach. I just remember the kids being scared. The whole school under lock down. The rest of the day we didnt do any work and any class room that had a tv in it was watching it people would leave other classes and go to a room with a tv in it to see what was going on. I remember walking down the hall seeing a tv on and the towers being hit. I just stood there and watched it. When I came home I remember every channel had something to do with The towers being hit. I called my mom at work. I was so scared I had no idea what else was going to happen. I just remember sitting there watching the tv the rest of the day with my brother. I went for a walk with my friend and It was so weird to know what had happend. The next day at school we put up flags all around the school. We had a day where we remembered those every year we put up flags at our school and went into the aud. and remembered those. Now when I look back at what happend. I just want to cry. Now that I've seen the spot where it had happend You feel so weird standing there looking up at something that used to be there, Seeing ground zero was so weird to know that thousands have died there for something they didnt even do. I fear that something else could happen and I dont want anything else to happen I dont want a war. I hate those that have done this, I would like to know why, why did you have to do this? As a 15 year old at the time alot can go through your head. September 11, 2001 is a day I will never forget.
