When I first heard about the twin towers in New York getting destroyed I was in 2nd grade. My teacher didn’t say much about it because they didn’t want us to get scared. When I got home my mom started talking about it and to tell you the truth I didn’t get anything she was talking about, I didn’t get it until like the day after when everyone was talking about it in school. I didn’t know what the twin towers were either before they got destroyed. All I can really remember is everyone being sad about what happened and also how thankful I was that no one I knew got hurt. That was a bad experience that I hope will never happen again in my life time.
