It was a normal September morning I had just started my freshman year of high school, I woke up that morning got ready to go to school my ride to school was supposed to pick me up at 7:30 a.m. to take me to school.
I arrived at school at 7:46 a.m. just like I normally did I waited in the school hallway for the 8:00 bell to ring. When the bell rung I walked down the hallway to my locker to get the textbook for my first class which was Health. We were supposed to have a test that day which was supposed to start after the morning announcements. I finished my test at 9:15 and started reading the book that I had brought to class to read after the test. It was a book about United States history specifically the President's of the United States.
At 9:25 our school principal comes over the intercom and says the following "we are alright right now, you may turn on your TVs now, we ask you to keep in your thoughts the people in New York and in Washington." When he said this I was stunned "what's he talking about" I thought to myself. So the teacher turns on the TV and on TV I see something on fire I had no idea what it was cause the TV was really small I did not know what was on the TV until one of my classmates yelled out loud "that's the World Trade Center" i am like oh my gosh. At that moment I looked down to mark my book when I was reading it just so happens the page I was reading in the book was about the World Trade Center bombing in 1993.
After I bookmarked where I was reading I looked up to see a building collapse I am like whats collapsing. I did not know until two years later that I saw the north tower collapse live on TV.
The rest of the day was a blur it went by really fast. When we got out of school I went home and for the rest of the day watched the coverage of the attack on TV.
