Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: It was my second day at a brand new job outside of Washington DC. It was a beautiful September day. All of us were at our desks when one of the women here was on AOL and yelled out of her office, "A plane flew into one of the World Trade Center Towers." My first thought, was, "Oh what a horrible accident, those poor families." Moments later she yelled "A plane went into the other one." At that point I knew it was an intentional act of terrorism. By now we all grabbed radios, whatever we could to get information. I was listening to news reports when the plane went into the Pentagon (about 20 miles from here). It was then I knew that day would be like no other day I have ever known. This would be the worst day in America's grand history. It was my generation's Pearl Harbor. We continued glued to the news as we heard about the hijacking off Flight 93 as they were still in the air, then their crash. Were they shot down? Did one of our military organizations have to do it to protect lives on the ground? No one could imagine the heroes who were on that plane. We also caught plenty of false reports. A truck bomb at the State Department and the Capital. By now, anything seemed possible. It became a surreal moment. I kept blinking my eyes as if to wake from a bad dream. Who could ever imagine such a thing would happen in the two most powerful cities in the greatest county in the world? An odd calm occurred as the phones quit ringing, the city was shutting down. All we could do is sit by the radios and internet. We called our truck driver off the roads immediately. Traffic in the area was a standstill as people flocked out of the Washington Area. The rest of the day continued the nightmare. When I could get the calls to go through, I called my wife at her work near our Southern Pennsylvania home, just to hear her voice and see if she heard anything we didn't. The range of emtions, was verge of tears to unbelievable outrage. While driving home on I-95, I saw a traffic sign that said to "Major Incident. Avoid New York City." This was no bad dream. Then the next bridge had a huge American Flag drapped accross it. Tears of pride and sorrow streamed down as I drove home to watch hours, upon hours of coverage and replays. Despite the horror I was glued to the TV and will never forget any of it. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: On September 11th I was at school. I just came back from gym when my teacher told me what happened. I don't know If I understood what happened at first. Because when I first heard that a plane was in the twin towers I thought it was only an accident. I guess it wasn't until I got home that I saw it on the news and People were saying we were being attacked. That changed my life dramatically because that year I became a volunteer firefighter for my town. A lot of people take each day for granted and the truth is we may not see the next day. I guess we will never get over it. I think the cops and firefighter are our true heroes. They went down there and some never returned. I will pray for everybody who are keeping us safe.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: Hi, I'm an 18 year old girl from Belgium. Two years ago i was at home because i had the flue, so i couldn't go to school. I was watching tv and suddenly the program was interrupted by a newsflash. They said a plane crashed into a building in new york and that everything was broadcasted live on cnn. I switched the tv to cnn. What i saw on that moment was unbelievable. There was fire everywhere. A few minutes later i saw the second plane crashing the other tower. It was so horrible i started crying. The reporters were talking about a terroristic attack. I couldn't believe it. Why would someone kill thousands of innocent people?? I really wanted to do something but what could i possible have done?? I was thousands of miles away from new york. And then, if it wasn't bad enough then, the first tower collapsed, followed by the second tower. All the panic that was hitting the people was undiscribable. I always thought of the united states as an untouchable country, to me it was invincable. But that day, they were as vulnerable as a baby. I have so much respect for everyone who helped saving people, like the firemen, the police, the first aid workers, the volunteers, every american. I'm very sorry for all the people who lost someone in these attacks. I'm sure they will never be forgotten, as well as that day, 11th september, will always be in our minds.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: On September 11, 2001 I was at work listening to the radio. My boss and I had heard just a few disturbing words of what the DJ had said. The tv was turned on immediately. I remember sitting on one of the empty desks watching the chaos in the streets. Out of the corner of one of the cameras came another plane that sliced right through the other tower. Some employees had gathered in the office to watch with me. A customer had walked in and not one person was able to gather a single thought other than what just happened. My boyfriend had called from a site he was working on. He had no television or radio. I told him what happened and he thought it was a sick joke. I couldn't believe he didn't believe me. Things just haven't been the same anywhere I have gone. There is always someone talking about it or some song on the radio about 9/11. Today on the first anniversary I am making a nationwide wish for unity amongst family, friends and strangers of every race. I wish for love and peace. God Bless You All!

My Nutrition Professor said a little something about it, but said we had to continue with class, like any ol' regular day. My mind was nowhere on Nutrition at that point & all I wanted to do was go watch the television. But it was early afternoon before I could actually see the coverage over twin towers. My best friend had called me & told me that one of her friends at college dad was at the Pentegon & she didn't know if her father was alive or not. I then turned on the television & saw the planes crash into the twin towers. I told my friend I needed to let her go & I ut down the phone & just cried & cried. I prayed & prayed & prayed, knowing without a doubt that God was still in control & this event was not hidden from His knowledge. The next day I went to a service for the tragic event. I just remember crying so much those next few days Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: We were visiting relatives in Minnesota in preparation for the final move to our new home in Maine. Driving through Champlain, Minnesota we turned on our radio and began hearing reports of smoke and fire coming out of the World Trade Center. We thought at first it was a retelling of the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center. Then we heard that a plane had just crashed into the Pentagon. And then with horror we realized it was happening now. The first thing we thought was "Who was doing this to us, and why? Is this World War III beginning?" Then we heard it was terrorists, and that a plane had crashed in Pennsylvania. We thought that plane must have been heading for the Whitehouse in DC. We got to our old house as fast as we could so that we could watch the TV. And what we saw will be etched in our minds forever. The devastation of the World Trade Center and the Pentagon was unspeakable. We haven't changed our way of life, not even a fraction of an inch. The terrorists brought this on, not knowing what they were doing or of the consequences that would follow, because the previous Clinton administration would have done nothing because the other attacks on the United States were never dealt with. But thank God we have a Christian and strong man in President Bush to guide us through the days to come. Someday they'll look back and say "How history made the man."

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: September 11 I was in second period at Northmont High School in Clayton, Ohio on the morning of September 11, 2001. Math was second period for me last year. My teacher had just finished her lesson for the day and said that we could turn on the television. She had said that some type of terrorist act had taken place in the World Trade Center. I did not think much of it because the WTC had been the victim of many terrorists acts before. I thought it was something like a car bomb outside the building, or something small like that. When we turned on the television, however, my thoughts were far from the truth. I remember looking at the time when I saw it; it was 9:12 a.m. What I had seen was two enormous towers with smoke billowing from the tops. I had no idea of what just happened or why. I began staring at the TV in awe. It wasn?t two minutes later when I found out that two airliners had smashed into the sides of both towers. Later, I found out that other planes had been hijacked and taken down. Then, I knew for sure that this was all planned. All day I was glued to the news wondering what happened. Throughout the day I couldn?t help but be amazed by the events that had just gone down. I wondered how or why anyone would take it upon themselves to try and destroy a nation. I wondered how the country would respond. I wondered if we were ever going to bounce back. At the end of the day, my questions were answered. What I saw on the TV that night, was just as amazing as what I had seen that morning. I saw people coming together. I saw people helping people that they didn?t know, or would never know had it not been for the horrendous events of that morning. It was at that point that I knew we as a people were going to survive. That we as a people were going to make it through this. Most importantly, that we as a people were going to answer to the terrorists. Obviously, the terrorists did not know who they were getting involved with, because if they did, they might have thought twice about their actions. They would have known that it takes a little more than a dastardly act to take down a nation like ours. We are the greatest nation in the world for a variety of reasons. Not only our military, but the people that live here. We could have folded under, but we decided to bind together and fight these terrorists. It was the greatest act of courage, bravery, and patriotism I have ever witnessed.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: Still etched in my mind is how deep blue the sky was that morning. It was my first day back to the office after a 10 day vacation. I was happy with the way things were going in my life and even considered my self fortunate. Getting settled in my office that morning in Jersey City (along the water), I placed a call to someone in my IT group about a problem with my PC. The response I got was a calm but eerie "forget about that, come into my office and look out the window; a plane just crashed into the WTC). We did not immediately know what type of plane had hit so we turned on the TV to see what was going on. The news was getting conflicting versions at first. We continued to watch out the our window facing downtown. Someone was passing around binoculars. I remember saying "why aren't the sprinklers putting that fire out?". I would realize later that any water supply would have been severed but the impact of that plane and even if it was functioning could never compete with the flames of burning jet fuel. The fire was growing larger and the smoke billowed high above the tower. I watched the flames grow as I viewed through the binoculars. As I passed the binoculars to someone, I noticed something coming from what looked like the direction of South Ferry an airplane; moving faster than anything I'd ever seen before. My first thought was it had to be the Air Force coming in for a close look. As it got closer, we all realized in horror that it was a passenger jet. There was nothing said..............maybe 20 of us stood there just saying one word....................'no'. What we saw from the Jersey City side was the plane hit and flames flickered through I guess about 3 - 4 floors of the South tower. The entire floors taken out from one side to the other. Something shot out of the northern side of the South tower like fireworks but it may have been a piece of the plane .A few seconds later you could see all the smoke from the impact. At that point we all realized that terrorists that wanted to see the WTC destroyed in 1993 had finally did some incredible damage. We evacuated the building but continued to watch from the ground. That deep blue sky was now filled with the smoke; dark, thick and filled with death. I thought maybe they can rebuild those upper floors......still not grasping what was about to unfold. When the south tower collapsed, the scene on the waterfront was like that of an old Godzilla movie; people running in all directions and screaming 'it's falling, the towers are falling". The sound was something that will never leave me; cement just slapping down, a horrible reverberation and then ..................silence. I couldn't breathe from fear. An F15 (or F16) flew over and the sound was enormous. I thought it was another plane coming for our building (The Newport Tower; one of the highest buildings on the waterfront). I froze in terror. A hotdog vendor had an AM radio tuned into 1010 WINS or 88 and they were telling us things we could not fathom. A plane had hit the Pentagon and there were 8 planes unaccounted for. Nothing was out of the question anymore and anything could happen. Growing up in Staten Island, I remember the towers being built. My Dad would take me down to St. George to view. It was surreal to see only one tower standing and all this smoke around it. When the second tower went down, it felt like the world had changed completely for me. It took hours to get out of the Jersey City area. Fortunately a great co-worker offered me a ride home. I could not call my wife because there was no phone service. I have to travel downtown occasionally so of course she was worried. When the second tower came down, all I saw was smoke ....................nothing else. No buildings could be seen from about 14th Street down to South Ferry. I thought of all my friends that worked in the towers and the surrounding area. I figured they would all be lost. The smoke lasted for days and on Wednesday we started to smell the acrid stench in Middletown. When I finally got in touch with a very close friend on who works on the Cotton Exchange on Tuesday evening, I yelled at him for not calling right away. I finally broke down and cried. I realized that there were so many others that were lost. I don't remember what day it was, maybe Thursday or Friday I went into the office. I picked up the Daily News and read something about how Cantor Fitzgerald had lost an incredible amount of people. I remembered a close friend whom I had lost touch with worked there. I never knew Cantor was in WTC. I still miss him now. He was an incredibly good influence on my life and I'm sorry to this day that I never made amends. I cannot believe that a year has almost passed. This morning in Hoboken, the magazines are all blaring with covers "9/11....one year later". I can't look at it. I still remember the missing people fliers posted all over Hoboken and downtown. It seems like last week to me. God bless all the families and friends of those lost that day. It is a great tragedy that these people were taken from us. My friend from Cantor leaves behind 2 beautiful children and a wonderful wife. He is just one of so many. The firefighters and policeman that I grew up with in Staten Island. Quite a few of them went to Susan E. Wagner High School with me. One firefighter was a neighbor in Staten Island.............they are all great heroes.

I woke up Tuesday September 11, 2001 and logged onto AOL to check my email. That is when I saw that the World Trade Center had been hit by a plane. I figured it was a twin-engine plane or something of that nature. An accident. However, I was wrong. It was TERRORISM. I was very shaken up. I was in tears and couldn't tear myself from the news. I tried to contact my loved ones, however cell phones were not working that day. I couldn't get through to my family. It was an emotional day. I was drained. By about 1:30 pm I settled down in my living room. I called out of work and closed my eyes, and finally went to sleep. My home phone rang around 2:00pm. It was my Aunt Cindy in Colorado. She told me my Grandmother had died of a heart attack! I was devastated. I was very close to my grandmother. The onsite nurse had found her in her apartment around 9:20 am. She was lying on the floor with her television remote control in her hand. CNN was on. My Grandmother was an avid CNN watcher. I know she had a heart attack as a result of what she watched on tv that morning. I am sure others have loved ones who passed in a similar way. My condolences go out to ALL families who lost a loved one on 9/11. I will never forget that day as long as I live. My gradmother is missed and I think of her EVERY day!!!!!!!

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: This really isn't my story at all. It is my mother's. But yoiu'll never hear her tell it. She is a survivor of 9/11. It scares me to say that. I almost lost the single most important person in my life at the time. My grandmother and I were in Phoenix, AZ we were awaiting the arrival of movers who would be there in a few days to pack our things in a big moving truck. We were moving to NYC. My mother recieved a great job offer in NYC in the World Trade Center. She had to start early. She flew to NYC and started working the week before. She would call every day and tell how beautiful it was to see the Statue of Liberty from her office and how she could see practically the entire city from one side from her building. On September 11, 2001 I woke up at 6 am to get ready for school. My grandmother is normally already up and watching the TV. I turned the radio on to listen to the morning news before school. "Breaking News", the radio announcer said, "the World Trade Center is on fire!" I ran out of my room and out into the living room where I expected to see it on tv but for some reason my grandmother didn't have the tv on. I screamed "TURN THE TV ON!!!!!!" She didn't know and was worried. There is was, smoke arising from one of the buildings. We didn'd know which building my Mother was in. Then a few moments later we saw the second plane coming for the second tower. When it hit my grandmother dropped on the couch and started to cry. We tryed calling my Mother but all the lines were dead. Then, what seemed to be a few minutes later, the second tower fell. Then the first, and still no word from my Mother. Finally the phone rang, but it was just people calling worried about Mom. My friend came from school and spent the day with me. Four hours later, a phone call from my hysterical Mother broke my solid grandmother into tears. My mother's building started to be evacuated when the first tower was hit but then they told the people inside that it as okay to go back to their offices. My mother, a smoker, decided to go have a cigarette. On her way down the 2nd set of elevators her floor was hit by a plane flown by a mad terrorist. She was in shoke and some people she had just met a week earlier had died. This haunts my Mother to this day and I have never again said anything negative about her smoking.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: My radio clock alarm went off with a blare of noise. It was 7:30 a.m. in Chico, CA. Then I heard people crying on the radio. I heard terror and horror in their voices. "A second plane has crashed into the Twin Towers!!!" "What the...?," I thought groggily. My first thought was that someone on the radio was pulling an Orson Welles "War of the Worlds" radio report, and I was angry at them. The anger woke me up. I didn't hear any laughing at the joke they were pulling on us. I flew out of bed and ran downstairs, turning on CNN. The towers were in flames, people were jumping out of the building. I couldn't pull myself away. My youngest daughter, Sari, with her boyfriend, John, right behind her, came flying downstairs, yelling at me to turn on CNN. I already had. We stood there silently, our horror growing, tears running down our faces. My oldest daughter, Lucia, came running downstairs holding her 7-month-old son, Kieran. A friend had called her, telling her something horrible was happening in New York City and she needed to turn on the TV. Downstairs, she found us in front of the TV. We all stood there, Sari, John, Lucia, Kieran, and I, not believing our eyes. Then we exploded into action. Sari and Lucia tried to call their brother, Chris, who lived up the mountain. He needed to know about his Dad. They also tried to call their Dad, Wali, who was supposed to be working on the 109th floor that week, something to do with construction. John was trying to call his Dad in Wisconsin. His Dad was supposed to be on one of the top floors (I think the 104th) that Tuesday in some business meeting. Couldn't get through. Of course, we couldn't get through. I got ready for work, Sari got ready for school. But we all kept coming back to the TV, flipping through the channels from CNN to ABC to NBC to CBS to find out what was going on. We just didn't know the extent of anything. Meanwhile, everyone kept trying the phone. John was the first to find out his Dad had decided not to go that week. His Dad usually went to New York City once a week for business meetings at the Twin Towers. But something had told him not to go and so he decided to stay in Wisconsin that week. But my kids still hadn't found anything out. It had been two hours and we still couldn't get through. They tried their Aunt Mary and Uncle Rob. Rob is their father's oldest brother and the union rep for their father's local union. But no one was home. They left a message and tried their father's number again. The lines were down again. Sari and I left for work and school. I work on the California State University,Chico campus and Sari has classes at CSU,Chico. I told her I wasn't staying, just going in to let everyone know I couldn't stay. I was in shock and I knew it because I was doing irrational things like driving to work instead of calling, when part of me was shouting to myself, "Stay home and off the streets, stupid!!!" She said that she wouldn't stay also, just run into class, and let the professor know she couldn't be there today. Inside the office, no one seemed to know what had happened. I mentioned that the Twin Towers and the Pentagon had been attacked. Only one person there had heard the news before she had left home for work. But the others could see my face. I told my boss that I would not be staying and I mentioned to everyone there, including the customers (two independent archaeologists and one California Department of Fire and Forestry archaeologist) that everyone should go home today and stay glued to the TV. Something very horrible and very historic was happening to our country. And that they should all be at home off the streets in case the emergency vehicles needed the roads. We were bystanders and the best place for all of us were at home. But they only looked at me as if I was overreacting. And I didn't care. Perhaps they didn't have any family in New York, so what was happening was remote to them, but it was not remote to me. I had lived in NYC for years, I remembered my kids' dad working on the twin towers in 1972. I remembered the twin towers when they were new and now they had tumbled down. It was too horrible for words. All those people, in the buildings, in the planes. It was too hard to talk about, so I said goodbye, picked up Sari, and went home. By then it was 11 a.m. California time, 2 p.m. in New York. As I was leaving, the coordinator for my office came in and told my boss, the assistant coordinator, that she should close the office and go home, and he told the customers that they should also consider going home and staying off the streets until we all found out what was going on. Apparently, the campus administrators had closed the school and told everyone to go home and stay off the streets. So, some people in California were taking it seriously after all. Sari and I went home. Everyone was huddled around the TV, using the phone every few minutes to try and get through. We felt all alone in our suffering. Then we went outside the apartment and everyone else began to come out and congregate in the courtyard, looking stunned. We spent a lot of time outside, all of us, talking, being together, but leaving the tvs on. Every now and then someone would run into their apartment to get an update. So many people in that complex had people in New York. We were all so far away and could do nothing. It was cathartic to share our fears, our sorrow, our helplessness, our shock with others. Finally, in the afternoon, Wali calls. He's alright. His crew was supposed to be there, but they got called off the job and posted to another job a few blocks away for that week. He and his crew had been in the twin towers the week before. But another metal lathers' crew had been sent instead of his crew, and Wali was in shock and sorrow for the men and women he thought had been killed. It had taken him all day to get home. He had walked out of the chaos, and kept walking until he could find transportation to his apartment on Cabrini Boulevard, located at the other end of Manhattan Island from the Twin Towers. He found out later that the other crew had made it out. It was unbelievable! Yet it still hurt that others had died instead. Other family members in New York were also okay. No one we knew was there. Or so we thought. Several days later Lucia finds out that one of her friends, Amy, was across the street from the towers when the second plane hit and the blast threw her back into the building behind her. She was there with the coroner's office to help. She came away bruised and shaken, but she lived! I stayed in front of the TV late into the night. It was hard to sleep. I couldn't get the images of people jumping to their deaths to avoid the greater pain inside the building. A choice, a hard choice, a choice that left no options for life, only a choice to avoid the greater pain of the moment. A choice I hoped I would never have to make. And I was afraid of having to wake up again to something horrific. It took several months for the fear of this to go away. To this day, almost a year later, it is hard for me to think about last September 11. I still cry at all that pain that people in New York, Washington, DC, and on the planes endured, and the ones left behind that are still enduring. And I worry about my family flying back and forth from New York to California, and vice versa.

It is now 4 years later and we are recalling what our class was doing on that day. We were in Mrs. Resitvo's, Mrs. Leapglow's, of Mrs. Seighbor's 4th grade classrooms. Some of the classes continued with their regular work, but others watched the news on Tv that day. Some of us watched the president that night on T.V. We remember after school people going to WalMart stocking up on things and buying flags. We also remember the gas lines at the gas stations. We will always remember the people who were lost September 11, 2001.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: On the morning of September 11, I was homeschooling my son and youngest daughter. My eldest daughter called saying "Mom, turn on the tv quick." Before my eyes was a burning skyscraper. I couldn't believe it was the World Trade Center. Then I saw the second plane hit and was in disbelief. My daughter called back and told me the Pentagon was hit and there was a car bomb at the State Department(which proved not to be true). Now I was shaking, because my husband works at the State Department. Fortunately my husband called and said the car bomb was a rumor but he definitely had to get out of D.C. He was going to take the subway to Springfield VA and I would pick him up. Well the subway dumped its passengers out at the Pentagon! All of the subway's passengers had to walk farther into Virginia so would I meet him about 6 miles away.When I reached Springfield on I-95 North the State Police where blocking the road. I got off and found my way to him praying all the way, thankful and sorrowful at the same time.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: My husband and I were on vacation at his parents home in North Canton, Ohio,on September 11, 2001, we reside in Del Rio, Texas. We had just finished breakfast and I was on the computer in the Den, when my mother in law stated that an airplane had just crashed into the World Trade Center. She was watching a television on the kitchen counter. I thought it was strange, so I turned off the computer and went into the living room, to turn on the big screen television. I watched the first of the towers burning, and I called upstairs to my husband and asked him to come down and watch with us. All three of us, stood there as we saw the second airplane hit the second tower. I was in total shock, and we knew that it was not an air accident! Our plans were to return home by way of Baton Rouge, Louisiana, the following day, where we planned to visit with my sons. I am a federal law enforcement officer, a Supervisory Customs Inspector and I began to wonder how this would affect my office and our operations. I could not leave the television set, I saw the two towers fall and people running and screaming. The entire day was full of accounts from all aspects. We also heard that a cellular phone call had been made from a third plane to a spouse, stating that the aircraft had been hijacked and that passengers had a plan to overcome the hijackers. We also heard that the plane was aimed at the White House in Washington, D. C. We heard that there was a fire at the Pentagon. I felt so sure that we would be immediately plunged into a war! The day went on, with accounts of injuries and deaths, which were reported in the thousands of lives. The day went on and my brother in law called and said that he had heard that gasoline stations were taking advantage of the incident and raising their prices. We heard that as much as $8.00 a gallon was being charged. Due to the fact that we were so far from home and we still planned to drive to Baton Rouge, Louisiana before we went home to Texas, I worried about the gasoline prices. I also worried that perhaps credit cards would not be accepted and we had planned to use our gasoline credit cards. My husband and I went out that evening to service our car and found that lines went around corners to get gasoline and at some pumps, the pumps would be dry by the time the cars would get up to them. I suggested to my husband that we should go to an ATM (Automated Teller Machine) at a bank and withdraw the maximum allowed, $300.00 each, from each of our bank accounts, just in case, credit cards were refused. We did service the car that night and the price was reasonable. We did wait a long time in line but we did get the gasoline. When we were at the ATM, I was a little on nerve, thinking that persons might be over reacting and that we might be held up at the ATM, by a thief, but we were not. Thanks to the good Lord! That night, I cried thinking that we might not be able to go to Louisiana, to see my sons, because of the gasoline prices, or due to what might be happening politically. My husband, stated, we do not have to decide until we get to Tennessee, so maybe we will find that we can continue on South to Louisiana. This gave me hope. We did not have any problems, we did make it to Louisiana safely and without incident. I had badgered my husband to put a ten CD changer in our car, because the car only had a one CD player. This was in vain, because, all the way home, I was constantly changing radio stations, looking for news of what was happening in the world. On the road, we found some cities, holding fund raisers for victims of the WTC, and we contributed. When we arrived home, everyone, was looking for American flags as were we and we could not find one. I grew angry that we were not reacting immediately by declaring war on whoever was at fault, but I continued to trust our President and our government. I still do.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: Well, when it all happened I was a Senior at Union Pines High School in Moore County. I remember haveing a strange feeling that morning and not wanting to go to school but as any other parent would have done, my mother sent me any ways. It is kind of funny because the class I had first period was U.S. History. I remember our Princible comeing over the entercome and tell all teachers with T.V.s to turn them on to the news, and others to go to the media center. He didn't say why though and I remember thinking that was very weird! So when the teacher turned on the news it was just in time for us to see the second plain crash! I don't think It realy sunk in at first about how terible this was. I had been in the school choir for three years, and the year befor all this happend my school had been selected to sing in the national youth choir there at N.Y. We stayed at the Mariot Hotel right there at the Twin Towers. Of course as your know, it burned up. We had to change classes and as I was going to second period all of this was going through my mind! Then we found out about the Pentagon and the other plain crash. I was so scard that Fort Bragg was next because I only live about 20-30 min.from there. As all of this was going on people were crying, hugging, and calling family. My sister-in-law had just had a baby and where home alone. My mom called the school to talk to me and make sure I was O.K. and then had me released from school so I could go and make sure my sister-in-law was O.K. I didn't loose anyone but I do want to send my love and support to all those who did!!! And I just want to let you know "What goes around, comes around!" They WILL get what they deserve!!!! But don't let hate keep you from living your life how you want. They can't take that from us! P.S. I just want to thank my mother for being a wounderfull person. She makes home made lolly pops and my choir sold them and raised 300 dollars which we sent it all to N.Y. to help the familys who had lost someone. She did a great thing and its people like her who make america a great place to live!!!!!
