I was in the computer lab waiting for my next class of high schoolers to come in when the principal came rushing in to tell me to turn on the tv. He said, " America is under attack, they crashed a plane into one of the twin towers!" It took me a moment to realize exactly what he had just told me. I think I was so stunned that it took me several minutes to comprehend what was happening. I kept thinking "Who is they and why are they doing it?" My next thoughts were America is safe, no one attacks here. It must be a mistake. I was devastated to see that I was so wrong. I felt the same way as a high schooler sitting in English when President Kennedy was assassinated. It is terrible and very scary to realize that there are people in this world who would do such things to people they don't even know. God Bless America and all of the wonderful people who join together to protect our country.
