Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: Early tuesday morning on September 11, 2001 I was in my own little world. I woke up as usual, took a shower and began my daily routine of rushing to school. I never listen to the radio because all they do is have talk shows in the morning and no station actually plays music. When I finally got to school that morning everything was still pretty ordinary. I remember my friend mentioning something about terrorist in New York but I didnt think she was talking about anything recent. I remebered hearing about a plane hijacking, and ransom put on the hostages a while back. I'm not really up to date on the latest news in the world. I have always chosen not to watch the news, not because it is boring, but because its depressing. The news these days only show how much our society is falling. When I first entered first period I noticed the TV was on but I figured it was just the stock market channel. When I heard that there was a plane that crashed into one of the towers I was shocked. I thought it was a horrible accident. When the second one hit I thought it was the strangest coincidence. Shortly after my Bio teacher gave us a little talk to try and help us understand what was going on. It was then that it hit me. For the first few minutes I was panicked. I thought we were in war and I visualized the violence you can only imagine in movies. Thinking about it now I can only say that I guess I was just naive. I didnt think that normal people like us were capable of such horrific acts. But they are, and the scariest part is that in their eyes there actions are righteuous and just. On that Tuesday my world started out all about myself but when this tragedy hit it gave me a new perspective on life and it broke my heart when I thought of all the people that were just going about their daily business, like me, when suddenly their lives or the lives of their loved ones were taken.
