Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I woke up to go to school with my heavy workload. Just another normal day. Didn't get enough sleep. The radio turns on to wake me up and face each day. Usually it's music or just regular talk that wakes me up. Not this time. As I was dressing, I heard on the radio that a plane had hit the towers. I didn't really understand what they meant, whether it was a joke or from another country or such. I went to school, thinking nothing much of the information I had just received. I go to school and people are talking about the towers, and I chimed in, not with anguish or pain, but just out of the thought to be important by already knowing the latest gossip. 0 period went by without much attention, but the 1st period is what really hit me. My US history class with Mr. Heldwein was discussing the hit. Finally, we decided to see it on TV. Only then did I realize the severity of what had happened. The class watched in silence, awe, and horror. 3rd period came by and my teachers already had the TV in the classroom and watching the news. At first I was overjoyed at the fact that we weren't going to do classwork. I finally realized what had happened. The 2 towers collapsed. Search rescues past. Death tolls were recorded. Months passed. Personally, I was numb to it. Then, it really hit me when my English teacher gave us an assignment to find a quote or poem in rememberence of 9-11. As I stood up late in night thinking of the perfect poem, it started to hit me. Then, in the morning, even on Power 106, Big Boy was talking about 9-11. As I watched the TV, and as I saw the grieving people, my heart was touched. From today, I swear I'm going to find out more about 9-11 and educate those who have the wrong ideas of 9-11, for much ignorance was born at the same time pride was. 9-11. It will be remembered.
