911DA Story: Story
September 11 started like any other day. It was a Tuesday. Like always I had trouble getting up to go to school; just the usual, falling asleep in the shower, during breakfast, and while I'm changing. So anyways, I finally got to school and started another regular day.
First period went as slow as usual. Then, something was wrong during break. I remember seeing a lot of people crying and panicking. I did not pay attention to it, I didn't know what was going on. Then I got to my class and I saw it. The two towers were in smoke. My friends and I could not believe it. Especially when the first tower went down.
I tried not to think about that same day, as if it didn't had happened. I couldn't do it. I couldn;t believe the U.S. was attacked, and the two towers were gone. Since I was a little kid back in my country I always heard stuff about how great the U.S. is, and also about the twin towers. There was time when the only thing I knew about the U.S. was that the twin towers were in New York and that tehy were the tallest buildings in the world. They are gone now, and there is no way of bringing them back.
