"Where were you when the world stopped turning that September day?!?!?"

This is a day our children and grandchildren will learn about in school. Which they should, it was a day that changed history that ruined lives and one of the biggest events to probably take place during my life time. Because of this I wanted to write down what I remembered of it.

 like many other people I remember that day or at least parts of it. I was in 10th grade. The first plane hit between classes so when I walked into I believe my third period Mr. Lance had the TV on and was watching it, the few kids that were in class were also just staring. Honestly at first I thought it was a movie we would be watching that day but then I noticed that it was a news cast. We spent the next hour just watching as it unfolded.

After class as I walked through the halls that's all everyone was talking about no one could really believe what was happening. In one way it felt so far from home but at the same time we knew it wasn't that it could of just as easily happened anywhere. But still I didn't fully comprehend just how bad it, or what had just been put in motion I was a normal 15year old who was into her own life, but it didn't take long to understand. The rest of the day and pretty much the next few days were spent watching the news and watching the bad get worst. But just like every horrible event that ever happens you can always find the good! To see how many people jumped into action, who enlisted to the service to protect our country, the Amazing memorial and the healing that has comes from it.

I am truly proud to be an American and even more so of the Brave people that Serve. That is a day we will never forget but will do everything possible to stop something like it from happening again.

 Alisha asked me to wright my memory of the events of Sept,11. This is a day I will never forget for the rest of my life. I was a senior at Sky View.  I was a student aid for my first two periods and the teachers told me that day that I didn't need to come to class. I decided to sleep in that day and was surprisingly woke up by my mom screaming we are under attack!!!  I remember thinking she was just playing a joke on me to get me to wake up. I laid in bed until she came back down to talk more about what was going on.  To my surprise when I went upstairs to eat breakfast the TV was on and talking about the plane colliding with the first building.  I sat down to listen and watched as the second plane flew in and collided with the second building.  I couldn't believe what I was watching.  I sat in disbelief until I had to go to school. Every class I went to we sat and watched the live coverage on TV. It was the worst terrorist on US soil ever!  The men and women that died that day will never be forgotten.  America was hurt, but came together and became stronger!!!
