Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: IT WAS THE SECOND DAY OF SCHOOL. I WAS A KINDERGARTEN TEACHER. IT WAS SUCH A BEAUTIFUL DAY, I DECIDED TO TAKE THE CHILDREN OUT ON THE PLAYGROUND. WE WERE OUTSIDE FOR ABOUT A HALF HOUR AND WE WENT BACK TO CLASS FOR OUR MORNING SNACK. ONE OF THE OTHER TEACHERS CAME RUNNING OVER TO MY CLASS AND TOLD ME THAT ONE OF THE TWIN TOWERS HAD BEEN STRUCK BY AN AIRPLANE. I IMMEDIATELY TURNED THE TV ON IN THE CLASSROOM AND BY THAT TIME THE PENTAGON AND THE OTHER TOWER HAD BEEN STRUCK. IT WAS LIKE A BAD DREAM. SOMETHING LIKE THIS COULD NOT HAPPEN IN AMERICA. I WAS FRIGHTENED FOR THE CHILDREN THAT SOMETHING LIKE THIS COULD HAPPEN SO CLOSE TO OUR SCHOOL. I WAS MORE FRIGHTENED BECAUSE OUR SCHOOL WAS ABOUT A MILE AWAY FROM THE EXON TANKS IN LINDEN, N.J. I LIVED THROUGH THE SECOND WORLD WAR. I WAS YOUNGER THAN THE CHILDREN IN MY CLASS, BUT I STILL REMEMBERED SOME THINGS. I'M SURE THAT THE CHILDREN IN MY CLASS WILL REMEMBER WATCHING WHAT HAPPENED IN N.Y. THAT DAY, JUST LIKE I REMEMBERED WORLD WAR II.
