Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: September 11th 2001 began as a average day in school at Northwestern Lehigh HS, students talking, teachers yelling for them to get to class, students rushing around trying to see as many people as possible before class begins, but soon my life will drastically change for the worse. I was sitting in history class listening to the teacher lecture the lesson to the class when all of the sudden the t.v. was turned on at the bottom of the screen I appeared..."Breaking news, the Twin Towers have been hit!" In my mind I couldn't believe that this could be true. I watched in horror as I saw a large plane slam into the north tower around 8:45 a.m. I was in disbelief of what was happening, how could anyone ever do such a horrible, life-altering thing? My class and I were in awe as we watched the second plane barrel into the south tower. As we watched in anger, and disbelief, we saw people waving shirts and cloths out windows trying to call for help, people jumping out of windows, and people running franticly down the street. Then the most heart-stopping thing happened, the south tower clasped right in front of our eyes, and then later the north. It was the most horrific sight I have ever seen in my life. Later on the news, it was announced that a plane had hit the Pentagon and one had crashed, after it had been retaken control by brave Americans, in the small town of Shanksville, Pennsylvania. It is now September 11th, 2002, a year after this tragedy happened. I am still shocked and somewhat confused about how anyone can cause such pain when i see photographs or tapes of Twin Towers and to think that they I will never again see or visit this wonderful landmark. Many memorial ceremonies have been held in remembrance of the over 3000 lives lost. We held a service outside our school to pay tribute to the brave soles that died for there county. To me, they will be in my heart forever. I pray for the families that have lost love ones, and hope that they can get though this horrible event. I believe that our country is strong and determined and will get through this as one united nation. "God Bless America!"
