On September 11, 2001 there was an act of extreme terrorism. It was on the World Trade Centers in New York. The assault on the Trade Centers took a tremendous amount of lives. It was a great loss for us all. Many people lost their family members and closest friends. It is an act of unspeakable evil that has been committed in our own country.

I was entering school that day when it happened. It was not until 1st period, art class that I was told about the incident. We watched the breaking news in class. In fact I watched in every class. I was appalled when I saw the first plan crash into the tower. Then the second plan hit. It was so horrible to see that happen just before my eyes. My friends, classmates, teachers, and my self were in what seemed to be a state of shock.

My emotions seemed scrambled and I could not think straight. I could not think about anything else at the time besides what was happening. When I saw the cloud of smoke that blew over the entire city of New York it was unreal. It only happens in the movies not in real life to real people.

It was amazing to see the self sacrifice of emergency people such as police, firefights, paramedics, and regular every day people. Everyone pulled together to help one another. Unfortunately, some of these wonderful people died helping others. These are the real heroes of 9/11.

Many events have happened but this is by far the worst event in history. 9/11 is a day of remembrance and we should keep it in our hearts. Gold bless America and thank god we stick together at a time like that.
