Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I found out about 9/11/01 while I was in school. I had just gone into my 7th grade Social Studies class and taken my seat, when the kid next to me said,"Guess what?" Now I was very tired so I moaned,"What?" He said,"An airplane just flew into the Pentagon." The kid next to me is known for joking so I said,"Are you serious because that is nothing to joke around about at all." He nodded his head yes and said,"The World Trade Center Towers too." I looked at him in shock and disbelief, with my mouth open wide, and I thought to myself over and over again,"Oh my God." I felt like my heart now had an empty space in it just like the New York City Skyline. When my Social Studies teacher came in the room, his telephone rang. It was his son who lives in New York City, a few blocks away from the Twin Towers. He was o.k, but in shock. When I got home from school that day, I gave my mom a hug and turned on the t.v. to watch the news, and there it was. All over the nation, people were turning to watch our country being slapped in the face. My life has changed a little because of 9/11/01. It has changed in strange way because in August my parent's were thinking about taking my sister and I to New York City to see the Twin Towers before school started up again. They had decided not to go because they had to go to work the next day and would've been to tired, and now a month later the Towers were destroyed so now we will never beable to see them in real life. Also, whenever I see them on t.v. or in the movies, I get an eerie feeling all over me because they are so big and magical. That is how 9/11/01 has effected my life.
