The sun was shining high and it was a beautiful morning. Then as usual I decided to turn on the TV, then suddenly and interuption comes showing the first airplane crash then the second. My family was asleep so I woke them up. I was bursting in tears and couldnt explain. I was devistated. I was alone downstairs in my living room sitting and watching TV and then suddenly the world id broken itno peices. My mom and I woke up my brother, sister and my dad, and even by that time no one in my family has seen the towers collapse. My brother not knowing of what happend told me, "why are you crying speak up baby, c'mon." I just stud there and turned on the TV. My whole family together hugged eachother and prayed for those who had lost their lives and had suffered in this horrible tragedy. Today people know that speking of this subject breaks me down and i cant imagine for the family and friends who passed away. Another thing that was extreamly scary was that my family and I went to New York only 5 days before 9/11. We passed the Twin Towers many times. Then my dad suggested, "why dont we climb the Towers again?" My brother, sister, and I just replied in a tiredsome voice," We've already went up to the top about 2 years ago, and anway it's not like there going to leave us please what could happen?" My dad nodded and on September 11th i was astonished and ashamed of what we said,"they're not going to leave us.." But sadly they did. This taught me that it doesnt matter if you done it twice or three times just do something three times so you'll never take things for granted.
