10 years ago I was eating breakfast. Getting ready for school when my brother runs up the stairs and yells that the World Trade Center has been hit. He woke up to his radio sharing the news. We quickly turn on our TV. Every channel streamed the news about how something crashed into one of the World Trade Center towers. Then suddenly we see another airplane crash into the other tower. I think fear stuck every American at that moment. It hit me! Then two more planes crash in DC and Pennsylvania moments later.
When you see and experience something like 9.11 you never forget it. I'm sure everybody remembers exactly where they were and what they were doing when they heard the news. It was a terrible day. It's been ten years today. We honor the heroes of 9/11 and remember all those who died that day.
We will always remember 9/11.
I remember walking into work in Mrs. Wong's classroom, and she didn't smile or say Hi to me, but told me shhh... (Maybe normal for others, but not her normal salutation with me.) We just sat in silence watching the news like a scary movie, but knowing there were no stunt men. Such a sad day. It's weird living out in VA, right by the Pentagon; and some people I know who were there that day.
