On September 11, I was at home getting ready to go to school. I came downstairs and found my mom and sister watching the news. Before I could figure out what was happening, I saw a plane fly into one of the twin towers. As I kept listening I figured out what happened and felt so scared because I thought that we were going to be in a war. Then I went to school, and only a few people even knew that something had happened, so I told everyone what I had seen. Then later on my health teacher told us that there had been two other planes, but that only one had hit something. Throughout the day I got more and more frustrated because the teachers wouldn't tell us what was going on and they kept leaving for meetings with the principal, so all the students were very confused. After that we all went home to watch the news and be with our families.
