9/11
I remember the exact moment I found out about the terrorist attack. The funny thing is I didn't even realize what I was being told. I was walking back from lunch going into Mr. Beauchamps room. I was the first one in the class dropping my stuff off so I could go talk in the hall when I saw he had the t.v on. All I saw was alot of smoke and I wasnt really paying attention to what the screen said. I asked him "what's going on" and he told me "the Pentagon's been bombed". Now this is kindof embarressing to say but at 13 yrs old I didnt know what the Pentagon was. So I just kind of blew it off and before anyone else got into the room he shut the T.V off. Now the rest of the day ALOT of my friends kept getting checked out of school and I remember talking to Tiffany about it and us wondering why everyone was leaving. I walked to my godmother's that day form school and she was home early from work. I asked her what she was doing home so early and she said she was allowed to leave because of what happened. I didnt know what she was talking about so I said what happened? Then she was like the school didn't tell you and I told her no. She turned on the T.V and showed me. I remember feeling like I had been left out of what was going on and that I was pissed that the school didnt tell me. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. All they kept showing were the planes crashing into the towers over and over and over again. First at regular speed then in slow motion. I was just horrified that this happened earlier that day to so many people and I didnt even know about it. That's what I remember from September 11, 2001.
