Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I was sitting in my health and social care lesson with my new class, I had only just met a lot of them and i was wishing that I could be anywhere else in the world. I remember looking out of the window wishing that I was still on holiday In florida. The lesson went really slowly and the teacher kept talking about something happening in America but she wasn't sure what had actualy happened so we just carried on. At the end of the day I had to wak into the town centre to meet my mum to pick up the cat from the vet as he had a operation. When we came out of the vet I remember complaining about having to take the cat on the bus to get home, my mum told me to stop complaining and get on the bus. She didn't normaly snap at me like that soI asked what was wrong. She said tha she couldn't beleive i had asked that question after what had been on the news, I looked at her with a confused look on my face, I asked her what she meant, I had't heared any news. She looked at me puzzled! You don't know what happened today in America? She asked as we sat down on the bus. No i replied my teacher told us something had happened but she wasn't sure what it was. My mum explained it all to me but i couldn't understand it. I had never really witnessed a terrorist attack on tv before so I didn't know what to expect when I turned the television. I cried for ages after that. I felt really sick It was on television all night. I went to bed feeling so lucky, my life seemed so much easier all of a sudden. Nothing that worried me was as bad as what all the families of the victims were feeling. I didn't sleep all night I sat awake thinking about all the people who were trying to rescue people and I thought about the people that had family missing or dead. I will never forger that day, ever. I wish things could have been a lot different. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
