September 11
On September 11 I woke up like I always do. It was the same routine I do every day, eat, get dressed, and brush my teeth just like the day before. As I was about to leave I heard my older brother shout to my mom. I couldn?t understand what he said. I walked back to say bye to my mom. I entered her room and say her crying. She saw me and called me over. I asked her what had happened. She hugged me and told me that a plane had hit the World Trade Center. Tears were forming in my eyes as I watched one of the towers fall. I saw and heard people running and screaming I saw them dying. Later I heard on the news that it was a terrorist attack. My Dad said to remember the name Osama Bin Laden because he changed history forever.
