Tell us your story: 9-8-03 The month of September has always been sweet and sour for my birthday being on the 5th and then school starting just around the corner. The September of the terrorist attacks started out no different than any other. It was my junior year in high school and the images of the 11th are still in my head as if it had been yesterday. It was sunny and the temperature was fair everything seemed to be normal. I had been sitting in my second period class for about 20 min. before our teacher, Mr. Turner turned on the T.V. for our daily dose of current events when we saw a cloud of smoke billowing out of the side of one of the World Trade Center's towers. The first thought of most of us was that it had been some kind of accident, but our teacher knew better when he heard that a plane "accidentally" flew into the building. His first thought was that it was some kind of attack on the U.S. and his hypothesis became a reality as we watched the second plane smash into the other tower, "this is going to be a very long day," he said. He told us that this was going to change life as we knew it and this day would stay in our heads for the rest of our lives. Eventually they let us out of school and directed us to go straight home. The air outside was very ominous, with hardly any cars on the road and the whole ride home all I could think of was if my family and friends families were ok. Many of my close family lives in New York City and many of my friend?s parents work in Washington so many crazy things were going through my head that day. 9/11 was a life changing event which we must never forget and make sure we can prevent in the future.
