When I first heard about 9/11, I was in my grade 4 classroom. Another teacher came into our room and asked to talk to my teacher outside in the hall. When he came back in, he told was what had happened and turned on the radio. At first I didn't really know what was going on and was quite confussed. As my teacher explained, things got a little more clearer and I began to understand. That night at dinner, it was very quite. I told my mom that my teacher had explained a little bit about it and asked for more information. She explained in better detail about it and things got even more clearer. As I look back on that day, I know that I wasn't fully aware of the impact that it would have on the world. Today I am more aware and I still have lots of questions about that day.
