September 11, 2001, started off like any other day. I drove to school in my usual morning stupor, and went to my first hour, Bible as Literature with Dr. Lynn Moyers. We were working on a project in the library that day. September 11, brought nothing out of the ordinary, until I reached my second hour, Comparative Religion with Mr. Fritz, there a student by the name of Linda told the class that a plane had crashed into one of the World Trade Center's Towers. At that time my class and I did not think much of the situation. Mr. Fritz, a social studies teacher, on the other hand did. Mr. Fritz explained the forty year history of the World Trade Center.

Shutting down the airways seemed like a bigger deal than all the crashes that were being reported. All of these acts occurred while I still resided in my second hour. A little later in the day another report made headlines. A plane touched down in a field in Pennsylvania.
