I may only be 15, and live in Canada, but Spetember 11th hit me very hard.

I unfortunatly remeber it like it was yesterday.

I woke up at 7:45am to get ready to go to school, it was a very sunny day and i guess i was kinda looking forward to going to school that day, after sitting in class being bored, one of the janitors walked in, and asked to speak with my teacher, after a few moments he returned and told the class he had to tell us something very important. Me being the kinda of person that I wam i figured that he was saying we had a PA day or something.

Soon enough the time came to go for lunch, and just before we left, our teacher said,

"Today around 9:30am, the World Trade Centers in New York, were hit by planes, also the Pentagon in Washington."

I was kinda really shocked at how someone could do this, but i wasent really sure what they were.

as soon as i got home for lunch, i turned on the tv and went to an american station i got, as soon as i turned on the tv i saw horror.. buildings collapsing people injured or dead, adn i told my brother to turn around cause it was to much for him to take and understand. when i ogt home from school that i day i followed the story all day and night until they stopped showing it, it hit me hard because i couldnt imagine how people could this, its absoulutly discusting how they could take the lives of other and not care.

i cried almost everytime i saw it, and even al ther years following it i cried im so sorry for everyone who lost a relative, my deepest sympathies go to you and your familys

God Bless
