The news was on every channel and everybody was freaking out and i didnt get it and i didnt know what was going on. i was scared for whatever it was. i didnt actually really know what was going on until school started because my mom was too freaked out and getting ready for work to explain to me what was going on. my first period class is history and as soon as i walked in the door, my teacher already had it on, we watched it the whole period and the rest of the week. so then finally i found out and realized what was going on because i had no idea. thats all we did at school was talk about and watch 9/11 on the news. i was very shocked.
