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 middle school. None of the kids knew what "The World Trade Center" was...we knew them as "The Twin Towers" so a teacher asked us if we had parents who worked at The World Trade Center, and nobody understood except for a few kids whos parents did work there. When we were in class, we turned on the news and saw the towers on fire. Everyone was like, "Is that the twin towers?!" Some people didn't believe it and thought they were other buildings. I quickly recognized them. Nobody knew it was from terrorism. Then the principal made an announcement that all TVs must be turned off...because parents and friends worked there and it was upsetting a lot of students. They were really scared. My mom drove to school and picked me and my neighbor up early. We were all afraid what might happen and we didn't want to get stuck at the school.
I went home and my mom told me exactly what happened and I started crying. I cried so hard and I locked myself in the bathroom. I couldn't understand why people would do this. My friends father died that day. I never met him, but it was so sad... The next day we wore red white and blue everything. Everyone in school did. Some people wore black. Everyone was so upset. We all cried in school... That week was very quiet. May all those souls that were lost rest in peace... |
