NMAH Story NMAH Story: Story How did you witness history on September 11th? Share your experience. Mallary Oden I was in Mrs. Gaydon's social studies class in 2nd period at Thompson Middle School on the day of 9/11. At first I didn't know what was going on. I was having mixed emotions. I had questions like: Why would somebody do something like this to the United States of America? What did we do wrong? They came over the intercom and told us to turn on our T.V. It was so shocking what had happened.I didn't know if I wanted to go home or not, but I was happy to be with my classmates and best friends. I was happy to be alive,but at the same time I felt bad that it had happened to all of those people and I was safe and sound at school. It took a few days for it to actually sink in that this had happened to "the land of the free".I was upset, but happy at the same time.It changed my view on the U.S.A. I appreciate life more now.
