I was getting ready for school like I do everyday, and I whent into the kitchen to eat my breakfast. While I was eating my bowl of cereal my mom was watching The Today Show like she does everyday. The show was going just fine the first few minutes then they showed a small plane in the World Trade Center. I was and the people on t.v. thought wow what a bad aciddent someone ran into the WTC. Then a couple minutes later I saw a bigger airplane crash into the other tower of the WTC. At first I thought it was a replay of the first plane, but then I looked at the top right hand corner of the sreen I saw the word LIVE in big bold letters. I was in shock I could not belive it, then I knew it was no aciddent, someone is tring to send a message to America. My mom didn't say much but OH MY GOOSH!!! When I got to school all of my teachers were glued to the T.V. I didn't do much in school that day, we talked about it a little bit but we mostly watched T.V. When I got home it was still on every channel, but the main thing my dad told me was do not take life for grantied it is to short not to be living each day to the fullist. That was the main thing that changed me from 9-11.
