Seeing those planes crash and seeing those towers fall takes my breath away every time. I was in 6th grade at the time. We found out in 3rd period. We went to our always ridiculously early lunch at 10 or 10:30 and we were all contemplating who did this. Our best guess was China...we didn't know politics at our ages. I don't even know why we thought it was China. We were heading into 4th period, math with Mrs. Lambert (Least favorite subject and teacher), when we got the news we were heading home. Couldn't have picked a better time. I was at a friends house watching the coverage on TV. I couldn't even comprehend what was going on. War doesn't come to America. We're invincible. We're too strong for someone to beat us down like this. It was also hard to comprehend because I was so young. It was hard to believe there was a world outside of my country, let alone a world that wanted to attack us like this.
Words can't even express how tragic this event truly was...watching these videos, documentaries is just surreal. Its sad. After 9/11, I felt like anything could happen. We were no longer untouchable. Hopefully nothing like this will happen again. Hopefully.
God Bless America
