I woke up to get ready for another day of high-school. My friend's mom called about 6:45 or something like that and said to turn on the news. I thought to myself,"What could possible be so important that she called so early in the morning." When i turned on the TV I was stunned as i stood there in my room with my backpack on. the news was saying that there has been a tarrorist attack in New York. At the time only one plane had hit the towers. I could hear the panic in the news-casters voice. Just before I left for school there was another plane that had hit the second tower. I was sick to my stomach at that point and i didn't think that this could even be happening. When I got to school, all of my classes had the news on. I got to watch the horrible images over and over again. I didn't want to see them any more. And it got worse over the day. There was soon a third plane crash by second period. Even though I didn't have to do any work all day, it didn't shake off the feelings I had inside.

Ever since Sept. 11 all I hear is hate. Hate for the type of people that had done the terrorist attacks. Almost all of my friends wanted to bomb and nuke them. It was so sad. You shouldn't hate people of a religion just because of what a few people did.

The mistakes we made and how we even let them do what they did.
