I was in my moms car, and we were an the way to school. I was going in late because I was just at a doctors appointment. Then right as we were coming up to the school, I heard the radio man say that both of the towers of the World Trade Center had been hit by planes. I had no idea what the towers were like. For all I knew, they were like towers at a power plant with no one inside. I remeber hearing my mom say somthing about terrorists. I did not think much of it at the time.
Then I got to school and went to the last few minutes of first hour, the whole thing had left my mind. I was now thinking about the extra civics home work I would have since I was gone. Then I went to my next class, which was science. We were giving presentations. In the middle of one the principal came in and asked to see the teacher in the hall. None of us knew what was going on. We did not expect it to be this serious. The thought of what I had heard on the radio earlier didn't even come to mind. When Mr. Christopherson came back in he let the group finish their presentation, then he told us what had happened.
Throughuot the rest of the day we say horrible images on the news and in most of the classes we just talked about what had happened.
