Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I thought it was a joke, a sick joke, but nonetheless, something that couldn't really happen. I happened to be in Algebra II, working on some problem or another, and someone came in the room and told my teacher to turn the TV on. All i saw was some plane hitting a tower, and thought it was funny-as if maybe it was a movie trailer. Then someone said, "NO, that's really happening." I couldn't believe it. I didn't even know what the World Trade Center was at that time, although I had seen them numerous times in movies and on postcards. Finally someone explained and i was just like, "Oh my God." Then the second tower was hit, and I started feeling sick to my stomach. I watched them both crumble to the ground, and it almost didn't even seem real. I knew though that it couldn't be an accident, not if two planes had crashed. I kept watching, and then I learned that the Pentagon had been hit. I started crying right then and there. My mom is in the Navy and she sometimes goes to the Pentagon for meetings. I didn't know which days she went, all I could think of was that she might be hurt. I love my mom with all of my heart. I did not want to lose her. Luckily, my algebra teacher noticed that something was wrong with me, and after I explained, told me I could use her cell phone to call my dad. He said that my mom had called himand told him that she was okay. I was still a little shaken up, and at my locker after class, one of my guy friends came and gave me a really long hug, which made everything better. I got to go home early, and finally at around 9:45 PM my mom came home, and I gave her the longest hug I've ever given her in my life.
