Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: On September 11th, I, just like others, woke up and got ready to go to school. I got up at 6:00 am like I normally did, took a shower like I normally did and ate my breakfast like I normally did. But that day was far from normal. Just as I was leaving for school, I heard a report that a plane had crashed into the first World Trade Center. I thought it was a joke and ran over to the TV to find myself watching the tall tower with fire and smoke coming out of it. It was unbelievable. It had to have been a mistake. As I watched a reporter talking about what could have happened, I saw another object flying towards the second tower. Then there was more smoke and fire. My mom told me I would be late for school if I didn't hurry, so I picked up my backpack and hurried off to school. I must have left my brains at home because I couldn't concentrate at all that day. All I could think about was that horrible image I had seen on TV. To make things worse, we weren't allowed to have any of the news channels on. The principal of my school was worried that we would be scared, so we were left in suspense for the whole day. After school I rushed to my TV and my eyes were glued to the screen. I don't think I turned of the TV at all that day. Sometimes I wasn't even paying attention. I just had it on in the background as a comfort. It was just unbelievable. Thousands of people died just because they, just like me, were doing what they normally did everyday.
