The five-year anniversary of 9/11 has arrived. Care to share your stories? I'll start with mine.
I was in fifth grade, and we already had a half day scheduled. They didn't tell us what had happened. There didn't even seem to be tension in the school, or maybe I just didn't notice it. I remember walking around the perimeter of my schoolyard during recess, and randomly, I began to sing the "Mishaberach" to myself, which is a song we sing in Temple praying for the healing of mind and spirit. When I got home, my mom was still in her exercise wear, squatting right in front of the TV, licking peanut butter off a spoon. I laughed and joked, "Oh, now you like watching TV, huh?" (She always picked on me for watching too much TV at that time.) She calmly told me no and explained what had happened. That afternoon, as I went around the neighborhood for our school fundraiser, I predicted that everyone would be watching it on TV. And, of course, they were. I just find it creepy that I had a sudden urge to sing the "Mishaberach" even though I didn't know what had happened. What's your story? |

I was in 7th Grade, and (i think, hazy here, because i was late that day for whatever reason) when the first plane hit, and there was an announcement on the morning news thing saying what had happened... so i went to math, and our teacher had the news on, so we were watching that, when another teacher came in and told us that the principal wanted the news turned off. Mrs Byess essentially threw a hissy fit and we left it on, and then about then the second tower hit. We watched while the news came in about the pentagon and flight 93 came in, and then the towers collapsed.
