Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I started out school that day, I got dropped off as normal, walked to my homeroom also my 1st period. After homeroom ended we had 1st period as normal, I don't remember exactly which period it was but we had the firedrill sound and went outside, then we got word that a little fire had started by our generator we were allowed back in but told to go to our homerooms. I went to my homeroom and my teacher Mr.Polvino was there, we all sat down and he told as that two hijacked planes had crashed into the WTC, I was shocked but to my shame my composure regained quickly, I think my teacher just needed someone to talk to when he asked us who we thought did it, it was not as if a bunch of 6th graders would know. People started giving off names of the few types of organizations they knew. Everyone was talking about it all day, as we left the classroom and headed to our next period after a while we got word that a plane had crashed into the Pentagon. The Teachers were scared you could tell by how they acted, as I came back after lunch to English class also taught by Mr. Polvino we were told we were safe here and there was nothing to worry about, then two older girls probably from the highschool and asked to pick their little sister up, my teacher asked if anything else had happened they told him "The Towers have collapsed". I went home that day and my mom took us over my friends house who had friends in NYC and worked in the WTC we did not know what happened. We turned on the News and watched towers falling down and flames coming from the Pentagon. By the next day I knew we had entered a new world, a new era in history had come about in a single day.
