im a 15 year old student at west rowan high school and i was on a field trip that day. it was at about 9:15 in the morning and we were at the ymca swimming because i was in an advavced pe class. when we got done swimming around 10:00 was when i first heard because when we were leaving from the ymca, the woman at the fron desk was listening to the radio. then all of a sudden an outburst of parents rushed into the ymca to pick up their young children. we sat there for about another 15 mins or so then i heard that one of the towers had collapsed then the other. i was in total shock that someone would come to our country and do such acts of terror to us thinking that we would be scared of them. as we were leaving all of the students on the bus that were 18 were scared because of the simple fact that we may have a war and bush may start a draft. that is all we talked about all the way to the school which was about 15 mins. away. when we got to the school there were about 20 parents at the front office trying to ge their children out and home safe with their families. i then relized that something 500 miles away affects the close community around salisbury. as i went to third period the teacher had said that two commercial airplanes had hit both the wtc and they had collapsed. this all sounded like a steven spielberg action movie but only this time it was real and it had happened in our country. now such cowards want to come over here and do this to the usa the land of the free they are just jeolous that we are free and we have rights and they dont now they have started a war with the us and we are protecting our freedom and they will get what we got in return. because the usa will always be strong and free and no other country or planet or universe whatever will take the usa's pride freedom and strength awat from us.
