I remember waking up, not wanting to go to my math class. It seemed as if it would be just another day at GMU. After taking a quiz in math, my friend Mahmoud, told me that the world trade towers were hit bit planes, and also that the pentagon was hit too. I didn't know what to think. I thought that it was just something minor. Some type of freak thing going on. After math i went to my room, turned on the television right as the first building crumbled. I was completely stunned and continued to watch the television for the next six or so hours until i got a headache from the glow. It was truely an experience that i will never forget.
