I was home when this senseless act took place, glued to the T.V as everyone else. I feel good about our remembrance of this day. Tragedy happened but is not forgotten.

I was still in middle school when it happened. I walked into my homeroom class and the TV was on and course I was shocked. I was speechless for the moment and still being a kid the first fear that came to my mind was war.

I had fallen asleep the previous night with my t.v. on. The next morning my mom came in to wake me up for school, and saw it. I remember her sitting on the edge of my bed in complete shocked. We both sat there stunned for a few minutes, and despite the shock I somehow ended up going to school. We didn’t do any work in my classes that day. We just watched the news and were free to talk about what had happened, which was very emotional for everyone. It is a very poignant day in our history and should continue to be recognized every year.

I remember the exact moment it happened. I was asleep and we actually heard the news from our alarm clock radio. It was delivered by Howard Stern, so at first we thought it might be a joke, but it wasn’t. We fumbled to get the T.V. turned on, and a couple minutes later the second plane hit as I watched it live. It was the most horrible, sinking, scary feeling, and when I ever I think back to it, it’s just like it was yesterday. I hope I never forget these feelings though, for as Penny said, I can some what walk away, but there are people who must go through life everyday with out someone who should still be here.

I remember waking up in the morning, getting ready to take my niece and nephew to school. The TV was on when we got up and the image will be burned in my mind forever. I’m not sure why, but I hoped and prayed that it was some sort of malfunction on the plane. It seemed like that would be an easier pill to swallow than a terrorist attack. But then the second plane hit. I kept my niece and nephew home from school because I needed to be with family that day.
