911DA Story: Story
On September 11th I was in the 8th grade. I usually go to homeroom class first which starts at around 9:00 am. I walked in there as usual and sat in my seat like it was an ordinary day. No one knew what was going to happen in just a matter of mintues.
Then the bell rang to go to first period. I have English first period, and im usually one of the first students that walk in. When I walked in, there were two other students watching the news along with my English teacher. They were all quite. When I looked at what they were watching, I saw one building that had smoke covering it. I didnt really recognize what the building was because I wasnt too familiar with the Twin Towers.
When the late bell rang, and all the students were in their seats, everyone was talking to their friends like usual. My english teacher told everyone to quite down because something bad had just happend in New York. A couple of minutes later, our school's electricy went shut. All the lights, computers, and TVs when off. We were all really scared and confused. The principal soon made an announcement that they were working on the electricty outside and must of cut a cord, but they were soon going to fix it soon. He also said that the electricy had nothing to do with what was going on in New York. The rest of the day, many students when home. Everyone was so sad and wished it had never happend.
