On September 11, 2001, I was in Mrs. Long's third grade class. It was a normal day, just like any other school day, but around 1:30p.m. I remember a teacher rushing in to her room and whispering something in her ear. Mrs. Long just started crying. All the students in her class didn't know what was wrong, or what had happened, but we knew whatever it was, was bad! Mrs. Long gave us a paper to work on while she and the rest of the teachers went out in the hall and were talking. You couldn't really understand what they were talking about, but they were being loud! After about 15 minutes, Mrs. Long came back in, and told us what have happened. We didn't really know what to think, or how to act, we were just in 3rd grade, but the look on her face told us everything. We got dismissed out of school early that day, and right when I got home, I seen what have happened on the T.V. It was bad, really bad. On that day, there were many family members, heroes, soldiers, that died. After that day, we will never forget what had occurred on September 11, 2001. From this day on, we still pray, and hope that something like that will never happen again. We still have soldiers fighting in Iraq after 7yrs. for 9/11. That day was the most scariest and horrible thing that could of happened to America, but we relive from that day, grew stronger, and now are more of a country than ever.
