911DA Story: Story

I was in my p.e class when the planes struck the first Twin tower on Tuesday, September 11, 2001. I remember it like it was yesterday. I was in the 9th grade. My class was of all girls and you know how us girls are, we freak out about everything. So when I heard about it I couldn't believe it. I started to cry... as I started to think about everything I did that morning, I tried to remember if I told my mom I loved her before I went to school. I was so worried... I was scared they would attack us and I would never see my family again. As I watched the news I thought of all the people who were suffering, while I was just sitting there watching t.v. What happened was definately NOT a good thing... as if you didn't know, but it made our country stronger, and made everybody open our eyes and realize how important everything was to us. God Bless America!
