Our class was sitting in math class on September 11 when our homeroom teacher walked in and told us a tragic event had occured. A plane had flown into one of the World Trade Center building and a little bit later a plane hit the other building. Another plane had hit the Pentegon. We rushed to turn on the TV and watched as both the buildings collapsed into rubble. Several people left the room when the reporters started to talk about war. After school everyone rushed to the gas station to fill up their gas tanks. We sat out the afternoon in front of the TV watching as firemen rushed into the World Trade Center bravely to help save people. And now a year later, I can look back just like it was yesterday and recall what we watched and what was said while we watched the news. Every nighttime show is about the attacks of September 11. Pray for the people that lost loved ones and friends in the attacks, especially the firemen who gave up their lives to save people.
