            <text>  I thought it was just another Tuesday morning when I woke up to get ready for school.  I didn't have a radio or tv on when I was getting ready because I was already late for class.  I jumped in my car and headed up 123 when I heard the first report on the radio station 95.5.  At first they said there was a possible fire at the pentagon and then aout 5 minutes later they confirmed a plne had crashed into the pentagon.  My first thouht was a plane was trying to land at Regan National and the pilot lost control or there was a malfunction in the engine.  
  Then not even 10 minutes later they reported a plan hitting the north tower of the World Trade Center.  When I heard that, my first reaction was t look up in the sky because at that point I didn't know what to think.  Then a seond plane hit the other tower and tears came to my eyes.  I just thought of all those innocent people working in all three buildings.
  I one thing that really sticks in my mind is as soon as  pulled up to school and parked my car, the radio reported that one of the building completely collapsed and I was paralized in shock.  All I could think about was the fmilies of those poor innocent victims. 
  As I was walking up school I was unsure if anybody had heard the horrible news.  When  walked into the Johnson Center I approached my friends and all of them had no idea what I was takling about.  I explained the situation and after I finished all of them got on their cell phones and phoned thier family member because most of them were from New York.  Three out of the four people I told the stories to parents worked within 3 blocks of ground zero
  I walked to the back of the JC where the televisions are and that is where about 100 kids were standing, some were in shock and some were in total disbelief.  September 11, 2001 is a day that will never be forgotten by any AMerican.  As I write this essay I have goose bumps all over my body and tears in my eyes.  
  I am going to end by sending all my prayers out to the families who lost loved ones inn this horrific travisty and send my strengh to the ones who are over seas fighting for America.  GOD BLESS ALL AND LONG LIVE AMERICAN
