Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: On the morning of September 11 I was in the pool for morning water polo practice. While we were passing I saw one of the coaches enter the pool deck and tell our coach something we didn't know what he was just told but we knew it was something bad. Our coach just shook his head and our other coach put her hands over her mouth. When we got out and where in the showers one of our teammates came over to us and said," Hey, did you guys hear about the plane that was hijacked and flown into the world trade center?" We all thought it was part of a joke so we said no and waited for the punch line. She just stared at us and said,"No, its true a plane really did crash!" Then we stared at each other in disbelief. I had not fully realized how bad it was until I went to my 4th period class and actually saw the plane hit the 2nd WTC and I began to cry. When I got home that day my uncle called. He had just recently become a firefighter. He told me some of the men from his station were leaving for NY but he wasn't because he was new. After a whileof silence my uncle said,"Being a firefighter myself, I know for a fact that if I was a NY firefighter I would not hesitate whatsoever,running into one of those buildings to fullfill my duties."I cried some more and said goodbye. The thing that will stay in my mind forever is what my uncle said that day. I know that those men and women who perished are truly heroes. I will never forget....
