Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I was in my car driving to school. I had just turned into the parking lot. I was listening to the radio and I heard the news story that a plane flew into the World Trade Center but no other information was available at that time. A few minutes later my husband called me to find out if I heard about the incident yet. By that time I was walking to class. Neither of us knew any details but we both assumed it was a small plane that flew off course. Never in our wildest dreams could we have imagined what would unfold that day. We talked to each other again after class, which was an hour and a half later. By that time he had more information and the other students were starting to find out as well. Classes were being canceled and the halls became complete confusion with people trying to get home to check on their family members. People were warned to stay off of their cell phones so that the lines would be open for emergency personnel access. The drive home seemed like it was taking forever. Like me, the people in the cars around me were listening to the news while they drove home. I looked into the cars around me while waiting at a light and was able to see the anguish in the faces of others. This was a time that none of us would ever forget as we despirately tried to get home, safely. The main thing that I thought about during that ride was all of the children who lost their parent(s) that day and I still think about it today. It will always bring tears to my eyes.
