On September 11, I was sittng in homeroom like always. The Principal came on the anouncements, saying to turn your televisions on CNN. I had no idea what was going to be on that T.V. I looked up, and saw that second tower in flames. I watched the first one crumble to the ground. I was so horrified at what I saw. Some boys in the room didn't know the seriousness of the event, and they were laughing. I was in shock for the rest of the day. It wasn't until a couple months later, when i saw a special on the tragedy, that i started to cry. It was like the shock was over and the fear and pain had set in. My uncle was only 2 blocks from he sight of the tragedy that day, and i'm so grateful that he didn't get caught up in it. God Bles America.
