It was pretty much another day at school for me. I went to my first period and then my second period with nothing out of the ordinary going on. At the end of third period, which for me was science with mrs. johnson, the principal came over the loud speaker and told the teachers to hold the students pass the bell. I don't exactly remember what he said when he came back on the intercom a few minutes later but he explained that the world trade centers had been hit by a plane and so had the pentagon. Soon after we were released to our fourth period class and we stood around watching the TV not really understanding what was happening. My dad worked in DC so I was scared that he was caught in the middle of it. I had to keep reassuring myself that my mom would have come and got me if something was wrong. When I finally made it home my dad came out and greeted me at my bus stop so that I knew that everything was alright. The rest of the night we watched the TV together and tried to find out what was going on. God Bless those who were not as lucky as me.
