past experiences

On September 11, 2001, our country was under attack by terrorists. I remember sitting in school and then over the loud speaker hearing that the world trade center in the city has been hit. Many people in school were crying because either parents, or family members were in their. I remember getting let out of school, and all the teachers were in shock calling family to see if everything was okay. I got home, and I remember that this was the only thing that was on T.V. for the next 3 days. My Mom and Dad both worked in the city at that time, and it took them 5 hours to get home, when it usually takes 30 - 45 minuets. Looking back on it now, everyone was affected by this, and it took a toll on our country. It is going to affect thousands of people for the rest of their lives from volunteering at the site, or loosing loved ones, or just witnessing it. I think that 9/11 just made our country much more stronger, and more united. It will never be forgotten.
