911DA Story: Story
The first thing I could remember about my day on September 11th was what I saw on T.V. I was walking to homeroom and the t.v.'s were on like usual. Except that day i saw the World Trade Center with a plane stuck in it the teachers didn't make much of a big deal of it. I didn't think much of it at the time.
After the normal announcements I went to my first class which happened to be Physical Education. It was a very ugly rainy day outside and the power happened to go out for about 20 minutes. Kids were laughing and messing around, few were nervous or scared. After two hours of just sitting down waiting for directions on what to do they finally tell us to go to our 3rd period class. 3rd period I had english and she had on the news and it was informing us about the towers. After only a few minutes of watching "CNN" the dean comes around to all of the classes and tells the teachers to turn off the t.v.s.
I guess the dean didnt want us to know what was going on because some students might start freaking out. After I went to lunch a teacher tells me to go to the office for check out. A lot of kids left early that day because of the situation of things. I can't remember much of the rest of the day except my father telling me.."well don't worry about football practice tommorow, that's for sure"
