911DA Story: Story

It was the day of September 11th 2001, I was in the hallway of the Highschool I go to, on my way to forth hour when my boyfriend told me the twin towers just went down. At the time I had never heard fof the twin towers. So I got into my history class aka forth hour and watched the whole thing happen in front of my eyes on the television set. Every chaneel had it on, they couldnt stop talking about it. They said that all the airports and everything was shut down. It scared me because at the time my mother was supoed to be on a plane coming back from L.A. Later that night my mother called me and said that she was going to driving back with some friends, and at that moment I had a strong relief that my mom was going to be ok. All I had was the comfort of my friends and the peolpe in the school comforting each other. But form that day on no one would stop talking about it so this moment in time will allways be remembered, because of how scared I was that I was going to left all alone in the world.
