I remember having a normal day, hanging around before school (this was my freshmen year) and a friend of mine comes to school and says "Oh my God, someone flew a plane into the World Trade Center!" At first I laughed and thought it was just some moron that was dumb enough to accidentally fly their plane into such large buildings, but as soon as I got into my second period class (Radio and TV...our school has a radio station, but that's a story for another day) where it was on the TV. After hearing what really happened, I wasn't sad. I was pissed. Someone dared to try and take on my country? My country?! The rest of the day, I was just seething with anger, and I watched the news for about a year afterwards. |
