Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: That morning started out the same as any other. I woke up drowsy, got dressed, and left the house. We stoppd to pick up my friend like we do every morning. So, we get to school and our first hour is P.E. Then we go upstairs for Math and we sit down and our teacher asks for prayer requests. Well, before she prays she says I want to pray for whatever's going on in New York at the WTC towers. Once we got done praying we began our lesson and our principal walks in and says," One of the WTC towers have bee hit by a plane we'll keep you updated." I remember turning back to the board and hearing the door open again. It was the principal again and she said that we were going down to the gym towatch the news because this was serious. I started to worry, I mean it's not often we get to miss classes to watch TV. I figured this has to be bad. So, we got down to the gym and we sat down on the floor and no sooner than we fix are attention on the TV a second plane flies into the other tower and everyone got real quiet. Then the news anchors started saying this is no accidebt. So a bunch of us 13 and 14 year olds are sitting there wondering what in the world is going on. Then the news anchor says it was a terrorist attack and then it hit me. All the people, the people in the building. I kept thinking "oh my gosh" "oh my gosh" who would this. Then we look back at the screen and I'm crying and my friend is crying and we're waiting for more news when the tower crumbles. All I could do was pray and cry and think about the people who died. Then the second one falls and I nearly screamed. All i could think of was the thousands of people who died, the children without fathers, the wives without husbands , the brothers without sisters , the friends without friends. I don't think anything scares me more tha what happened on 9/11. I had never bee so deeply scared or sad before. My cousin worked a couple blocks from the WTC towers and i was so scared for her. She survived as did others. It angers me to think osama bin Ladan did what he thought was right. As much as i'd absolutly like to hate him I can't. God tells us to love our enemies and pray for them and that's what i do. 9/11 will never be forgotten, nor will the people who died or the ones who saved lives. There were true heroes there that day. 9/11 Forever Remembered God Bless America!
