On the morning of September 11 I was sitting in my 3rd grade class, and I heard the principal come over the intercome to tell all of the teachers to lock their doors and ceil their windows. In my mind i was like what is going on then the teacher started telling us what had happened and tears came out of my eyes just to hear about those people lives that were ruined. An hour later everyones parents were at the school checking them out of class and I just went home to watched the news and all of a sudden i see flashing on the sceen attack on the twin towers, I was like i hope this dont happen to us for 2 nights straight i couldnt go to sleep at all. When i got to school the next day over the intercome we had a moment of silence in our classroom to think about the lives lost. Today since im a lil bit older i look back i be like im glad that wasnt my family but at the same time i feel sorry for the kids who lost their parents or the parents that lost their kids. I remember taking some things to school for those people in New York I even gave up my favorite baby doll for the lil kids that needed it. So this is Philniecia Watkins and this is how i remembered 9/11/01
