i was sitting in 2nd period and my teacher turned on the television the last 5 minutes of class and that's when i first heard about it, but i didn't know what was going on at the time. so i walk into third period french and i am watching the tv and i saw the planes crashing into the twin towers. i saw the first tower fall, i gasped. i saw the second tower fall, i cried. i watched the tv with absolute horror. someone finally told me what happened and i thought to myself who would want to do that to so many innocent people. i cried so hard for the people who died and gave their lives for those in need. i felt horrible at the same time though, because i realized how lucky i was to have a family and friends and all i complain about are the simpliest things that are not going to affect my life in a year from now. there are no words to express how i felt that september day. but i do pray for the enemies. i know it is hard but i know that God will take care of it. i love the U.S.A. and WE ARE NOT COMING DOWN!!
