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? |

All I remember was watching this video on minerals in fourth grade.
And then everyone went into lockdown (even though we were in MD.. well I guess it sortof made sense then). And then one by one, everyone started leaving, and I was wondering what had happened and why we couldn't keep on watching the video, because we were supposed to be having a party. And I got really frustrated. I was one of the last people to leave class, and when I got home, we turned on the TV, and I just remember thinking, "Is this real?" It was so frightening I didn't want to believe it. One of my best friends lost her father in the WTC. ![]() |
