            <text>On Septemberf 11th I was woken up by my mother saying that the twin towers have been hit by a plane. Well I was half asleep so i basically told my mom ton leave me alone untiln i woke up for school. Then when i acctually woke up a little later i went out into the front room and i remember looking at my mom who was watching the news and seeing her face as white as a gost. Then i remember running into my boyfriends room and waking him up and then he got up and we all gathered around and watchedn as the seconed plane hit the other tower. We all sat there in silence not saying a word just holding each other and i new that from that point on my life would never be the same.</text>
