10 years ago..

10 years ago I was walking into my 5th grade class. As I was walking into the classroom my teacher had the news on. Every morning he would watch the news before school started. The morning of 9/11/01 was no different. Mr. Yates was sitting at his desk watching the news and to everyone’s surprise a plane had flown into the world trade center towers. He immediately turned off the TV when he realized what was going on. I remember this day like it was yesterday. I will never forget how scared I was when I saw the plane hit the towers because my dad worked in the city at the time.

Not even 10 minutes later my school had received a bomb scare and we had a "Code Green" which means we had to leave the building. My sister was in the third grade at the time and I remember seeing Alexis crying because she wanted to be by me.  A half hour later our mom came to pick us up and we went home. My dad was there waiting for us to come home and I was happy that we were all safe.

I still can’t believe 10 years has passed already and I remember this day so clearly.
So many lives were taken from us on this day but they will never be forgotten and they will remain in everyone’s hearts forever.

Never forget 9/11 <3
