I was Mr. Chestnut's Honors Physics class during third period. We were learning about some stupid thing when our principal, Mr. Benette, came on the intercom and told everyone about the events. When he went off of the intercom, my physics teacher said that this is a terrible day in American history, but we must continue learning about whatever. (i guess it wasn't that important because i dont remember what we were learning about.) During fourth period, the TVs in all of the classrooms came on and everyone watched the live newscasts on abc. I was in band at the time. My director mr. tomlin was still in a state of shock when we walked in the room. I still remeber when the second tower fell, Peter Jennings started yelling at whoever had the camara at the site. Most of the students went through the day in a daze- like this was all a movie. The goths thought it was great- going through the hallways saying praise allah and stuff like that. I was just a lowly freshman so i couldnt really do anything about it.

Well, though 9/11 didn't effect me directly, it did effect me as an american and also, slightly, my family. My mom's birthday is on 9/11 and she was in a terrible mood when she got home. (i can understand why.)

I think that September 11 should be observed as the day the towers fell and whatever, but i dont think it should have a big deal made about it. IE: Memorial day sales are ok, but september 11 sales? This was the topic of the Glenn Beck program on the Big Talker 1210 AM on 9/10/02. I agree fully.

Yes, in fact our family flew a flag for a month or so after 9/11. We still put it up during events like bombing iraq and stuff like that.
