Where: in my grade 4 class

On the morning of the attacks I was in my grade 4 class learning when all of a sudden the teachers said did you hear what happened? Of course since I was so little it didn't really matter to me what they were talking about but a few minutes later the brought a TV in our classroom and turned on the news. I didn't understand what was happening, all I saw on the screen were burning buildings. Our teacher explained what happened. The teachers wrote out letters for us to take home saying something about an attack happened that day and it might happen in Canada. For weeks after it was still on the news, the same videos played over and over again. Now that I see all the pictures I really feel bad for everything that happened. All those people won't see their families again, and won't even get to have their lives back.
