Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I had just finished teaching my 7:30 a.m. English 302 (Advanced Composition) class and was at my desk for Tuesday office hours. Colleagues at NCC came into 416 Enterprise (we academic advisors call our office space the "bull pen" because 7 of us have office cubicles crammed into this room), announcing that the first World Trade tower had been struck by a plane. Very soon most of the NCC office staff/faculty were gathered around the TV in the computer lab on this floor. We watched, stunned, while a plane hit the second tower. Then more news about the Pentagon, possible strikes on other buildings in D.C. Faculty/staff came and went, returning to their desks to call spouses, friends, relatives who might have been involved. I remember thinking "Is this the beginning of the end?" I wanted to see my two daughters, both in high school at Woodson, in Fairfax, VA, just 5 minutes from my office, but I was scheduled to teach a class for NCC at noon. Still in a state of shock, my team-teacher and I walked over to our classroom to announce that class was cancelled. In subsequent days, I feared coming to my desk, thinking that universities would be a target for follow-up terrorist attacks. I still live with a fear, kept just below the surface, of living so close to the nation's capital.
