On September 11, I was supposed to got to school that day but decided to sleep in, my roomate came into my room after the first plane hit and told me what happened. We were watching the news when the second plane hit, and neither of us realized what had just happened. After we heard about the Pentagon we realized we were under attack. I remember watching t.v. and a tear began to trickle down my face, I just could not believe this was happening. Then when they showed people jumping from the building because they could not bear the heat, I was so sad. I watched the news for almost twelve hours that day, the longest time ever.I wonder how could anyone impose this kind of horror on anyone. Every night before I go to bed I pray for the victims of 9/11, not just those that passed away, but also for the survivors who were affected by that tragedy. God bless everyone affected by this tragedy!
