911DA Story: Story
Well, I got to ESOL class, and the TV was on. I thought it was a movie or something. But I saw my teachers face and, I knew it was for real. I hadn't been in the United States for a long time so I didn't know alot about the twin towers or the pentagon. It was kind of weird wathcing the NEWS and all of those people.
It was about second period and the lights went off, even the emergancy ones. In my ESOL class we had to get under this huge table in the corner. No one was taking it seriously, but my ESOL teacher said Someone might be outside with a gun or something. And all of a sudden, parents were coming to school and checking their kids out. It was really freaky.
When I got home, there were at least 17 messages on my answering machine. All of them from people in Brazil, my friends, family, etc. They were all telling me to come back to Brazil. It was a really agitated day.
