Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: On that Tragic morning i woke up at 6:30 A.M., just as i did every other morning. I showered, change, and got ready for school, still clueless that today will be recorded in History. I arrived at school and all my friends were there having this loud converstaion, so i asked what was so interesting? They just stared at me, shocked and surprised. i remember thinking,"Did i miss something?" Finally a friend spoke up and ask didnt i hear about the "plane crash." I'm standing there thinking "Okay, some plane crash, was the pilot drunk? Did alot of people die? But why the heck is this such big news?". So i shrugged my shoulder and went off to my lockers and then to class. My first period was English, and there and then 7;32 A.M. in the morning was when my world turned. I flet all these waves of different emotions: anger, sadness, fear, confusion, pity. i instantly thought what if it would happen to us to? What if the terroists would attack L.A., we would be affected. We were then asked to write down on a paper all our emotions. i remember i couldn't write anything, all i got down was fear. What did i fear? that my life, too, would be cut short and i would die without accomplsihing and fulfilling my dreams. All thhose tragic victims had been robbed of there hopes and dreams, they were just ordinary people like me, would i be robbed blinded like that too? No, 911 didnt affect me in that i lost no family or loved ones. No one i knew were really anywhere near that tragedy. But it truly opened my eyes on...I always believed that you should "live like you are going to die tomorrow", but before that i never really acted upon it. Now i do, because the one thing i fear is to be robbed like those thousands of victims were. *My thoughts and prayers are with those who were robbed of everythhing* Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
