9/11/2001

On September 11th, 2001 I still lioved in Paso Robles, California. When I woke up my mom was freaking out. It was only seven in the morning in Cali. and I was in fifth grade. The video of the planes crashing on the TV i thought was from a movie, so I didn't think anything of it. When I went ro school that day I realized it was real. My teacher had us take two weeks off from class work to learn about what had happened to our country. My grandfather still lived in New York City, so then I realized why my mom was worried. He lived in Queens, so when we talked to him he said that he was fine. I was young but I understood how serious this situation was and that a war was most likely going to start.
