I was in one of my classes in highschool (I was a senior last year) when the teacher of the class had gone to her computer and checked the daily news online as she always has done, she said something about a plane crashing into the WTC and since I didn't know what the WTC was I ignored her painful words. I later saw it on TV when I got home that day and broke down in tears. I cried myself to sleep that night and I couldn't even eat because I lost my appetite and was feeling queasy. I remember that the day the WTC towers were hit by the planes it was also my second day of highschool. I couldn't believe it when my teacher told me what had happened.
