I lived in columbus ohio and I went to a christian school.I was in 4th grade. I remembered I was in class and I was bored. I asked my teacher to go to the office. I remembered seeing one of my teachers watching a tv. I have glasses and at that time I was not wearing them, so all I saw was two pillars and smoke coming out of it. I got everything and went back upstairs to my class. A couple minutes later another teacher came into my class. My school has sliding walls so we opened the wall and got both 4th grade classes in a group. My teacher at that time, Mrs. Lincoln, told us that the World Trade Centers had collasped. I thought that it was a muesem or somethin. When I got home that afternoon my mom was on the couch watching the news. Sure enough it was the WTC. They were on fire and smoking. We watched nothin but the news that night. I remember looking up into the sky thinking," Is that going to happen to us?" I was worried or scared, some might say, for the rest of the week. I would never forget that day no matter how hard I tryed to forget it.

In Christ,
