Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: It was about 9:30-10 am when we first heard anything. I was 14 years old, and i was in the 8th grade. I was in Art class when our principle came on the loud speaker and announced that the world trade center buildings had collapsed and the cause was unknown. Now of course because we were young they werent going to tell us much, i didnt think much of it, i actually didnt realize how important this was to our country. As the day went on, most of us kids just went on with our day as a normal day, until more and more parents were coming t pick their children up from school. A few students had parents, family, or friends who worked in the WTC and we crying their eyes out. Each teacher i went to after that, all spoke of what had happened. I was beginning to get more afraid afterall. Me and my best friend Michelle babysat after school everyday monday - wed. and we were so afraid to babysit alone. My cousin Kelly had came at about 2:30 and picked us up, she was afraid for me also, she didnt want us babysitting alone. She picked us up, and brought us to her house with the 2 year old we watched 3 days a week. We stayed there and watched the news and cried about what had happened. it was so devastating. i know my story is not as tragic as those who escaped the building but i just thought id share my story because as a 14 year old going through this, we uderstood more then you's thought. my prayers are with everyone..
