Item 96923

When this event happened I was in the second grade. I was about 6 or 7. I rememeber it was morning work and I seen the scared look on my teachers faces I really didn't think anything of it so I went back into doing my work. A couple minutes later they told us to get our belongings and wait for our parents to pick us up. At that time I was asking questions asking what's going on. My mother picked me up and we went home and my great grandmother had on the T.V and I couldn't believe me eyes I thought it was something in a movie. Being a 7 year old your gonna be confussed asking "why is the building on fire?" My mother explained everything to me and I was scared to death I wouldn't even go upsairs to use the bathroom because I though something was gonna get me. My life has changed from 9\11 by living one day at a time. Not to sweat the small things because life is to short. R.I.P to those who lost their life that day.
