what's your 9/11 memory? Options

[*lolita kitty*]

well, as julia stated, tommorow is september 11th. so my question is, what was your 9/11 memory? by this, i mean, where were you when you found out? what else happened that day? here's mine:

i was in 4th grade. it was first period or something like that. they were starting to say the morning announcements, and then our principal was like "the twin towers have been knocked down". something along those lines. the whole day i was really confuzed, because i had no clue what the twin towers were. in social studies, my teacher turned on the tv and we just watched the news, the whole period. i remember a few kids at school crying that day too >.>. when i got home that day, i turned on the tv, and every single news channel had the story on it. me and my dad talked about it for awhile, and he explained what the twin towers were and such.

er- yeah. that was my 9/11. what was yours?

I was in 7th grade. I was going to my second period class which was Reading. The teacher had the television on but no one knew what was going on. We kept watching until the principal told all the teachers to turn off the televisions because it was too graphic. I was worried the whole day because my father sometimes works in NYC. Fortunately, he wasn't there that day. A lot of parents came to pick up their kids. After school was over, I went to my friend's house and from her attic we could no longer see the towers and the sky was all polluted because of the smoke. It was a very sad day that I still remember like it was yesterday.
