Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I remember I was in my car listening to the radio when I heard about the first World Trade Center building being hit. I was on my way to visit an old high school teacher. On the 20 minute drive down there I listened as the second building was hit. I was horrified I couldn't believe what was happening. I was a freshmen in college and I really didn't pay much attention to the terriost that attack America throughout the years. When I finally arrived at my old high school I ran up to the class room and turned on the television. My teacher was on her planning period so the room was empty except for me and her. I was telling her about my drive out there and how I listened to the radio as the towers were hit, then there was another shocking attempt to crush the American pride; the Pentagon was hit. Luckily it wasn't hit straight on, but was some how detoured to the side. The two of us sat at a desk in disbelievment. My teacher tried franticly to call her friend who lived in the city and as everyone remembers all the lines were quite busy. She also tried to call her mother, so her mother wouldn't worry that she was hurt. I remember walking through the halls and watching as students and teachers alike ran to a widow and tried franticlly to call there loved ones who worked in the Pentagon. With tears rolling down each and everyone of their faces, I felt a small feeling of relief knowing that my family was far from the two attack areas. But then my relief was taken away by all the hurt and saddness I knew the others were going through. When I got back home, I called my parents who told me to stay there and make sure all the kids got home from school okay and to let them know that they had to stay inside. The phone calls just kept coming in making sure I was okay and making sure that my family and friends were doing okay. My sister was telling me stories of kids in her homeroom who began cheering as the rest of America ran in terror and cried for their loved ones. I couldn't believe their lack of sensitivity for the rest of the vitims and their families. I couldn't believe my own angry. I wasn't very patriot before all of this happened but soon after I began telling people how proud I was to be an American. I cannot wait until that bastard Bin Ladin is captured and gets whats coming to him.
