Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I can remember the morning of September 11th. I was walking to my 3rd period class, Global Studies. As I walked down the hall and passed some of the other classrooms I noticed that every teacher had CNN on. I didn't think much of it. It was not out of the ordinary for the teachers to be watching television. I kept walking to class. I went to class and noticed all of my fellow students were sitting in front of the television. Everyone was quiet. An eerie felling came over me as I sat down next to my best friends Jezikah, Kari and Sara. I looked at Jezikah and asked her what was going on. She looked at me and said that a plane had just crashed into one of the twin towers of the World Trade Center. It took me a few seconds to realize what she said and what that meant. Then she told me that they think it was a terrorist attack. I looked up at the television screen and watched the next events take place. They were all horrifying and shocking. I watched as they replayed the planes crashing into the towers, and then what seemed like minutes later watching them collapse. I remember seeing people running down the streets and some stopping to watch what was happening. I remember watching the reporters and listening intently to them as the told the whole world the aweful news. They were probably more shocked and scared than I was because they were standing right there watching it and experiencing every sound and sight. I remember all the other events, like the plane that crashed into the Pentagon and the White House being evacuated. I remember that my Global Studies teacher was very upset about what was going on. She too could not believe what was happening. I remember that she keep telling our class that we should remember everything that's happening, everything that we were thinking and all of our feelings because this was history we were seeing. Trust me I remember everything I thought and felt that day. The anger, the sadness, and the same question, why? Why were they doing this horrible thing to us? Why did they have to do this now? Why today and why now? Why so many people, so many innocent people? To this day I still do not understand why these people would do such a horrible thing. The only thing I wonder is why they hate us so much. I really don't understand. I can't believe they killed so many innocent people. Even now after all the suicide bombs and fighting I still can't understand why they would do such nasty and terrible things. I still feel angry, upset and confused about everything that happened on September 11th. I feel bad for all the innocent people who died in the attack on America and those who live in terrorist countries and have to live with all the noise and blood shed.
