Hour 4

9-11-01

My day started off pretty normal. I got up and headed for school, and when I got there none of my friends had heard about it yet either. After walking around for about 15 minutes with my friends I had decided to head to my first our class, which was biology. I got in there and took my seat and I had noticed it was fairly quiet. I looked up and saw a building on fire on the television. Then our teacher had told us all that a plane had hit the building. The news program said the plane had hit the building at about 8:45 and that got me confused because our clock in our room had said 8:10. After at least a couple minutes of thinking I had realized that they were in a different time zone then us. As we were watching the tv the second plane had made a loop and hit the second building. Our whole class watched in disbelief as they kept on showing the plane hit the building. Then our teacher decided that was enough and turned of the tv.

Throughout the day our teachers just kept us updated by puting the tv on for five minutes or so. My math teacher was the only one who did not have the tv on. I think he would have just rather try and keep it off of his mind by doing work. That actually helped me, but it was still hard for me to stay on task. Nobody that I remember really talked about how they felt that day, but the day after it had happened most everybody I know said something about how they felt. That whole day the tragedy I felt kind of lost and wondering what this world is coming to? I never thought that anything like that would ever happen in my lifetime.

I never really was affected by the day of 9-11-01 until a couple days later. I was just kind of thinking if we were going to go to war or not. I never want us to have any more wars. I want justice but not in that kind of manner. I just don't understand why the terrerist would want to kill thousands of inocent people?
