Where i was, 9/11

I was 8 years old and in 3rd grade at cooper elementary school when the tragic event occurred. I remember i was sitting in Mrs. Alexovich's class when we all received the news. They told us that the twin towers were hit during a terrorist attack, I didn't really know at the time what truly had happened so it didn't affect me as much as it should've. Some of the other kids on the other hand actually new what had happened and the teachers were all devastated. The class had a tv so they turned it on and we could see the towers on the television. A couple of people were crying but i wasn't sure why. That is how i recall the attacks on September 11, 2001.
