Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I was at school, in my second period class. The principal came over the intercom and said "Teachers, I need to ask that you not watch the news with the unfolding events in your class- time, waiat until your break." There was a hint of urgency in his voice, and of course, not many people knew it at that point, and many teachers as well as students did exactly what he had asked us not to. My teacher had lent her T.V. that day so she went into the hall and asked so,eone. At that time only the first planae had hit and we didn't know much about it. she came back saying that there was a crash between the world trade centers and it was nothing, so we all calmed down. Well, when we went to 3rd period is when everything got stirred up! The students that had watched it were in histerics and it sent everyone into panic. By the time we got to 4th everyone was still really confused, and so my 4th period teacher turned on the news and explained that we were under attack. Everyone just watched, silently. Lots of students were crying. We were asll constantly (even teachers) watching out the windows and doing nothing but talking about it. When i got home I called both my parents and other relatives to make sure everything would be okay. I remember hearing jets over the school for the next few days, and everytime everyone would rush to the window and it would just start all over again. Then one time about 2 weeks later we weere in choir and we heard a really loud sound like an engine or thunder. Everyone startied crying immediatley. We were all like that for about 30 seconds, but it seemed like 10 hours. We figured out it was just the band next door playing on the big drums, but I will never, ever forget how I felt during that time. And, now, it being the 1 year anniversary of 9/11 it just brings back all the memories and I feel even more upset because of what we know today. ALways remeber our armed forces and police and fire fighters. I always supported them because my family is a miltary and police family, but I think it's ironic, that this event, meant to send us into chaos and terrorize us, has actually helped us more than hurt us. We will always remeber and they will never ever get away with this! Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
