Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: September 11, is a day I will never forget. I began the day as any other day, my parent dropped me off to school. I was in government class, we were discussing the Constitution, life,liberty, freedom and the persuit of happiness. Mr. Kamaza announced over the intercom a plane hit Tower One, in New York. I was not worried I assumed it was a small Cesna aircraft. We ended class and I went to Homeroom, he again began to make a second announcement and I knew it would be bad news. He stated a second plane had hit the second Tower. It was ironic that the day my government class was discussing the Constitution, our life and liberties were being challenged. I realized the first and then the second hits were not accidents but terroist attacks. I became worried not only for myself, but also for my parents. What if a plane crashed into the Cushing building I was in or into one of the buildings my parents were in? I was relieved when Homeroom was over and I could go outside where it was safe. During biology class Mr. Bradley turned on the radio and allowed us to listen as the events unfolded. I heard a noise and it reminded me of foil being crushed, it was the second tower falling to the ground. This is all I can remember of September 11, it was too painful and disturbing and I blocked out alot of what occured. I questioned God, why did so many Anericans have to die, the Federal Government's competence to protect us, and why would people kill so many to get their views and beliefs across? September 11 will be like what President Rosevelt said about Pearl Harbor, "will be a day that will live in infamy."
