Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I'm not a person who watches TV before I get to school, so when I got to class I had know idea what was going on. My first class was Business Law and the whole time all we did was watch the television. We thought "Oh, know - that plane accidentally ran into the WTC tower!". Then the second plane hit and our teacher told us this was definitely no accident. I didn't understand. Why would someone do that on purpose? Then the Pentagon came and all we could think about was "What's next?". Then, of course, we had to change classes. On the way I heard someone in the halls talking about another plane. I ran into the nearest room (every room had there TVs on) and heard about how those guys had taken charge of the plane and drove it into an empty field. At the moment I just couldn't grasp everything that was happening- it was all so fast. That's all we talked about in classes all day. I started crying as family members came and talked about loved ones who were working. I also cried as it showed the planes running into the Towers over and over, and when I saw people so desperate they jumped out of the building almost a hundred stories up. Then listened to people talk about it from the ground point of view. It was too much for me to handle. The first time I heard of Bin Laden I hated him. For what he had done to so many families and our country. Now all I can do is feel sorry for him. I would hate to be such an evil person. I believe that he is going to hell- that is enough of a punishment. Our country has grown to be so strong. I'm very proud to be called an American!!!
