911DA Story: Story
On September 11th I was at school. Five minuets before school started,about 7:15, I saw a t.v that was on in a classroom. I saw that one of the towers of the World Trade Center was on fire. The bell rang so I had to go to class. I turned on the t.v in that classroom. Before I even sat back down another plane had hit the second building. I then knew that this was not an accident, it was planned.
Throughout the day we were informed that the Pentagon in Washington D.C. was also hit. The Deans and Principal had made announcments informing us what had exactly happened around lunch time. Many students including myself had left school and gone home.Within the next month our school had raised over $5,000 to donate to the familes and victims of the attacks.
The tragedy of September 11th had effected my life greatly. Now because of it war is just a regular show on T.V.Even though a year has pasted, America has come together more as a country, but we are still affected by that day!
