On September 11,2001, I was in school in Language Arts class. All of the sudden one of my friends got to leave school early. Then more and more students got to go home. Then our teacher got everyone up and told us to go to the gym for a fourth and fifth grade "meeting". When we got in the gym they sat everybody next to each other real close away from the walls. They told everybody that planes had crashed into buildings. They weren't specific at all. Somebody asked what buildings and they said they weren't going to say. I went home that day and my mom was watching the news with a worried look on her face my sister and i sat down and didn't say anything. We just watched the replays of the planes slamming into the Twin Towers, the Penagon and in Pennsylvania.
