It was about 9:00 a.m., and I was in my second period english class just getting ready to switch periods, when our class had gotten interupted. I remember sittin there laughing and carrying on with my best friend, when my teacher came in with a blank look on her face. She told us what had happened and nobody believed it. They all said that it was probably some big joke, but deep down inside i think everyone was scared. I looked at my best friend and was like, " What is going on?" I didn't know what to say or what to expect. All I could think about was what if this is the start of World War 3? As the bell rang we all went to our third period clas and I think everyone in the school had their televisions on watching in awe over what ad just happened. They showed the planes over and over hitting the towers. Each time getting more and more goosebumps. I don't think that it seriously hit until I got home and started talking about it, realizing that this just might cause a war. My dad and I stayed up most of the night watching the news, anxiously waiting to see what President Bush had to say. I can definitely remember 9-11 like it was just the other day. I want to send my sympathy to all the friends and families that lost loved ones in the crash. 9-11 will definitely be a day of grievance.
