Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: By: Laura Gottschall Since September 11th 2001, America has not been quite the same. It was an unexpected event that took place on a normal day in America. On this tragic day, four hijacked planes crashed in America. Two crashed into the Twin Towers in lower Manhattan, New York. One crashed into the Pentagon in Washington DC, Maryland. The last of these four planes crashed in Somerset County, Pennsylvania. This event affected everyone in America in some way. At first, everyone was confused, angry, and shocked, and no one went about their normal business right away. ?It takes some time before you get over the shock, and start to understand what happened that tragic day,? says Mrs. Chripczuk, an 8th grade English teacher at Pennfield Middle School. How long does it take? For some, it takes just months, but for most of us, it will take years. Several people at Pennfield Middle School are still saddened about the events that took place that day. Some lost people they knew, but one year after the attacks, everyone is at a standstill and remembers and feels the same feelings of confusion, sadness, and anger. For me, I didn?t know anyone who died that day, but I feel sadness for those who have lost ones. If I had lost someone, I would be torn apart because I don?t handle death in my family very well. I wasn?t affected very much, and I don?t really know what happened because my mom wouldn?t let me watch the movies or the news right away. Now I think it was almost better for me not to watch because I probably would have been more upset longer than I was. Our generation was affected greatly. Our teachers said they wouldn?t know how to handle all the students who lost their parents on September 11, 2001. there will be about 15 years in which kids won?t have parents because they were lost on 9/11. September 11, 2001 is a day that our country will never forget. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
