On this day 12 years ago, I remember thinking how
beautiful it was outside. It was a Tuesday and the sky was
so blue. I was in Homeroom in high school when I
heard someone say, "the towers are on fire." I had no idea
what that meant, so I just continued to do what I was doing.
The bell rang to go to my next class, which was Biology, and
the teacher had the television on. Her eyes were glued to it.
That was when we saw the 2nd airplane hit on live
television, and that was the most horrifying thing I have ever
seen.
For the rest of the day, I couldn't concentrate in any
of my classes and all I wanted to do was go home. The
teachers tried to make their classes as normal as they
could, but it was difficult. Today, we remember the victims,
families, and first responders, who risked their lives to save
others. While I am fortunate that I did not know anyone
who was killed that day, my heart goes out to the people
who did know someone. Never forget 9/11/01 <3
