Yes, admitting this probably makes me look stupid but this is the truth.
I remember going to my science class early in the morning like I did every day of the week. Nothing seemed different except for when I walked into the classroom. There was complete silence. My teacher had one of the most depressing faces I had ever seen.
My teacher started to explain what had happened and honestly I had no idea what she was talking about. Obviously I knew what had happened was not good, but that was about it. Then we decided to turn on the news. Seeing live video of those towers burning was such an unearthly feeling. I will never forget that feeling. The thing that I will always remember about this day is it's amazing how a tragedy can unite a country. I was fortunate enough to not have any family members or loved ones lost on that day. I can only imagine how it affects those people. Today I will try to think about how many people were affected on September 11th and how it has shaped our country.
