Posted by: Debbie from Placerville Monday September 02, 2002 @ 02:37 PDT
it was about 6:00 in the morning here in cali, on sept.11. my mom was screamimg for me to get out of bed, because there was something on the news that she wanted to show me. i thought that it was some dumb story about going to school and getting an education. so i came running out of my room to find that on the news was one of the world trade centers on fire. i totally did not believe what i was seeing, and for a split second, i thought it wasnt real, it was all a joke. so i went and ate breakfast, and my mom started yelling @ me again. what now i wondered. omg the other building of the world trade center is on fire! now they were not just on fire, but two planes rammed into them! thats when it started to kick into my brain. i still had to go to school. when i got to school, everyone was packed into classrooms, watching the news unvale. i walked into one classroom, and everyone gasped...... another plane just rammed into the pentagon. we all began sobbing, like we were in a bad horror film that wouldnt end. in our minds we thought that this could have eaisly happened to us, that we could be the ones running, hurt, or even dead. the teachers left the tvs on in all the rooms. at lunch time, no one was outside, but inside watching the news,when the acts of terrorism struck again. this time a plane was hijacked in route to washingtondc..... the brave people did everything that they could to stop the plane, which ended up crashing in pennsylvania. no homework was issued that day, so i ran home to watch the news. people dying, covered in ash. what a horrible sight to c. i was watching the world trade centers at that moment to see that people were jumping from windows, hoping thit it would kill them so they could spare themselves. i cant believe this. this is chaos! i started crying so much that i went in my room. who is stupid enough to do this??? i couldnt sleep that night, i was crying soo much. the next day, i walked around my neighbor hood, my school, to see that there were flags in the air, streamers on cars, people singing god bless america.and the national anthem. i wrote a peom that day that reads: on the day we all remember that awful morning in september it all happened so very fast no one thought it would ever last but the day will live forever it was a terrible sight within the minds of everyone was fright who would do this and why it made everyone want to cry we were in total shock and fright they were gone so was half of the pentagon vanished from the world stage the world was in a horrible rage in the end, they were gone i couldn’t sleep that night i was still in a horrible fright to see the world sadly cry but in the end we would try try to unite the next day as i looked around i couldn’t believe what i had found flags and streamers in the air and people singing everywhere it was a great sight and sound september 11 will remind us all that we can still stand tall to love everyone to respect them to even if we fall so thanks to the firefighters and police men to for their hard work and dedication for me and for you but the biggest thanks of all goes to the man who helped us all to mayor guliani who worked so hard who put his heart and word into everything we heard godbless america!!! when i think about 9-11-01, i start to cry. a lot of my friends lost family, friends. but we all gained unity. if anyone would like to talk about this issue, please e mail me at: sum41chica_14@yahoo.com.
