911DA Story: Story

On September 11 I walked into Class and our teacher Mrs. Tyler told us a plane flew into one of the Twin Towers in New York. I was shocked. At first i thought it was an accident, but later that day when the other plane hit the other tower i realized it was on purpose. When the towers collapsed couldn't believe all those people died. That day changed me by showing me how lucky i am to have a family and even a life. I felt sorry for all those people who had lost friends and family. I then realized i should be happy to be alive. The world now is much different. Mainly security and fear. Everyone looks at life differently now. But i think all that has happened it only brought us closer together. That is how i felt on September 11 2001.
