I woke up that morning to get ready for school, at the time I was in the third grade. i saw my mom and dad sitting in front of the Tv in the living room. I asked them what was wrong, but they wouldnt tell me. My mom just came to me in tears. and held me. i will never forget that hug.
My mom drove me to school. When I got into class, I could see my teacher was very upset. I asked her what was wrong, but she told me to take my seat. I walked up to her and gave her a hug, and she hugged me back.
After about an hour of school, I got a message that my Father was there to get me early. But instead of waiting for me to go to the office he came up to my classroom and got me. I could tell my Father had been crying, and i had never seen him cry before. When we got in the car, I asked him why I was going home. He told me that the government got the day off. I knew something was wrong
We got to my house and we both went inside and sat on the couch. He turned on the news, and that is when I witnessed the terror of that morning. what I was seeing was a previous shot, the buildings were still standing. I felt bad I looked at my daddy and wondered why he was crying, Its only a few people. Then they showed it collapsing. My mouth flew open.... after a few moments I went to my dad and hugged him. We both cried for hours. he explained to me that in this world people do bad things and sometimes good people have to pay for what the bad ones do...
We spent the remainder of the day watching the replay of the planes hitting the buildings, and of them collapsing. I remember wondering why the hell would they want to replay it over and over. and i realized they were prolly thinking like I was. They couldn't believe it
We will never forget the day our country was robbed of its freedom of life. A day that will go down in the history books as Infamous. That day, of September 11, 2001
