September 11th. What I saw, what I heard, how I reacted. My feelings on this day were crucial. I hope that you felt the same way.
The day of September 11th 2001 felt like all the rest not wanting to get up and go to school. I had no clue what was in store for me. First period; Spanish. It began regular excitement due to all the kids being awake. The class went by smooth as tile. Second Period; art kids were also excited. This class went by well too but what would happen next no one was ready for.
Study hall with good old Mr. DerSarkissisan. I was in the room with shocked kids who looked like they all seen ghosts. I remember that two students and friends of mine John Sweeney and Michael Pyra were in the room also. At first it didn't affect me but then a second plane that I seen live from the monitors hit the World Trade Center and I grew furious. The reason was I thought of all those people on those floors while the plane went crashing through the windows. The World Trade Center was full with smoke and had to smell like jet fuel form those planes. Ring, Ring, the period was over.
Fourth period was where all the intensity of our school really hit with every one watching television. Across the bottom of the screen a report of the Pentagon being hit by a plane, appeared. My teacher at this time was Mr. Ray Jr. He was furious also and we went through the day the day with all this to cope with. I can Remember walking in after lunch to earth science and watching reports all day.
The feelings of September 11th is in all of us. There is no good conclusion to something like that. I'm sorry for all of the fatalities suffered through this terrifying time. I believe that there is though one good conclusion that everyone came together with the spirit of America.
