Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I was in band class when the twin towers hit on Sept. 11. An assistant teacher walked from the parking lot into our classroom and told my teacher to turn on the TV because the Twin Towers and the Pentagon had been hit . When my band director turned on the TV, we all saw images of the towers burning. Right after, The assistant principle at the time came on the announcements. I disctinctly remeber her telling us that in the word "American", the last 4 letters spell out "I CAN" and she told us that we can all get through it together. None of my parents or family members work at the Pentagon or anything, so I was releaved, but it was horrible seeing some my classmates and friends crying and calling their parents to see if they were okay. Living in Northern VA, right near DC, many kids around here have parents that are in the military or work at the Pentagon. I even had some friend's parents who were suppose to go to their office on 9/11 but had a meeting that was canceled last minute or became sick. Half the kids at school were taken out because their parents came home to pick them up, for precautions. I just never imagined something like this would have ever happened in my lifetime. I always read about things such as war, and terrorism happen in other parts of the world, or they happened many many years ago, but I never thought it would happen in my lifetime. I also remember distinctly seeing many jet planes flying in the sky that day. one after another, there would be white strikes in the sky. I remember this because my friend and I were on our tranpoline singing "Leaving on a jet plane" by Chantal Kreviazuk. It's weird looking back now. It happened 5 years ago, but i can still distinctly remember the day our nation became stronger, and not broken.
