September 11th

As you all probably already know, today is September 11th. Six years ago today hijacked planes crashed into the World Trade Center Towers, the Pentagon building, and in a field in Pennsylvania. I remember the exact day the attacks happen. It's something that no one will ever forget no matter how young you were. I was 10 years old in the 5th grade. Me and Sarah (Love_ya24) were in the same room when this all happened.We flipped the TV on and were watching everything happen. Our assistant principal came in and told my teacher to turn the TV off because parents were calling the school saying that they didn't want their children to be watching this. We turned the TV off, but once he left the room, we turned it back on to see what would happen. The one thing I know I will never forget is watching the towers collaspe. I was young and didn't really know what was going on or why it was going on, but now that I am older and know what really happend, it breaks my heart to think of the thousands of lives lost because of this tragedy that could've possibly been avoided.

So, here's my question to you. Where were you on 9/11? What was going through your mind?
