2. I Was In Bed

"I was 10 and in 5th grade. School hadn't started yet, it was early in the morning in Utah, so I was still sleeping when my mom woke me up and told me that two planes had crashed into the World Trade Center buildings. I remember wondering what the World Trade Center buildings were, and also being annoyed that my mom had woken me up because of a plane crash.

I told her that I knew what I would use for my current event the next day, but she assured me that it would covered that day. I thought it was just a plane crash, so I told her I doubted it. It wasn't until I was at school and we were watching news footage of people burning the American flag that I started to realize it had been more than just a plane crash."
