Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I was a Freshman in High school and my sister was a senior. That day I remember sitting in my 4th period mth class bored as anything.... There was about 10min until lunch and they got on the loud speaker and announced that there had been a terrorist attack on teh World Trade center... I gasped in horror being that both of my parents work in NYC... The bell then rang and luckily my sister drives and we had the same lunch. We ran out of school and we were driving home. I tried reaching my mom on her cell phone but couldn't b/c the lines were down in NY and she has a NY cell phone, same for my dad... However my dad had gone 2 Boston on Sept. 10 and was out of state... I knew he wasn't there but he walks in there every single morning from teh Ferry, I just couldn't get the thought out that he could'v been there. I then called my Grandma and she told me that my mom got home... my mom left 4 work late that day and never made it past the GWB, I was so relieved... When we got home we ran inside 2 see my mom in front of the TV, wut i saw b fore my very eyes was an image that i never thought i would see... people dying right in front of my eyes. We all immediatly broke down in tears. I didn't think this could be real, I thought this has to be a dream... it wasn't... Later that day we kept on getting calls 2 make sure my dad was ok b/c people thought he did work in the WTC, luckily not and that he was also away. However we did have a family friends dad die, he worked on the 101st floor of the 1st tower hit... I then wrote a poem about this day and then another on March 11, then another on Sept. 11 ,2002, I will never forget this day as long as I live.... GOD BLESS AMERICA!
