    i was in 5th grade when someone came in and whispered to my teacher, then he made an announcement to our class. i remember thinking "wow what a horrible accident." i was too young to realize that someone would actually WANT to do this to people.

    i remember getting home from school and seeing my mother sitting inches from the television and in tears. i tried to ask her what happened, but she had a hard time explaining it to me. i remember her telling me it was an attack, and then i realized that this was done on purpose. the internet and stuff was still pretty new back then, so i didn't really know how to use it to answer my questions. i just remember watching the news every day for the next month trying to understand with my tiny 10-year-old brain, and getting scared that we were going to be bombed, or my dad was going to be sent off to hurt people.

    it was a really scary time as a 10-year-old. a year or so later (maybe less) my parents bought me a bunch of books about 9/11 and what exactly happened. i became super interested in it; i think because it was the first time i could understand what happened.

    interesting fact: 9/11 was the first time news stations started scrolling news on the bottom of their broadcasts, since there was so much news that needed to be conveyed that day.
