I was in the counselors office trying to gather my thoughts as why i got kick out of my math class, and then i saw it. I saw the WTC on fire. I automatically knew that this was not an accident. How could a plane that huge not see the tallest building in the world! Then it happened the second plane hit. I just told my freind we are under attack,somebody want us gone. I didnt know who it was who did it. I just knew i was terrified. I went to my next class when the professor asked if we knew what happened,minutes later the college had to be evacuated. My college is downtown so it was a lot of traffic. I think i went blank because when i was driving home all i thought a bout was my sister. I ran a red light and the police pulled me over. I was horrid,I almost caused a accident. S he didnt give me a ticket she just told me to calm down. I DIDNT REALIZE HOW BAD THIS WAS UNTIL I GOT HOME TO LEARN THAT THOUSANDS PERISHED IN THIS ACT OF EVIL. I am an American. I kept repeating this in my head. I am free. I am happy. I am thankful to have so many strangers care about my freedom. I just want to thank all of you who are protecting us. AT first i wasnt to fond of the PRESIDENT but now seeing how he is handling things he will get my vote in re-election. ONCE AGAIN THANK YOU!
