Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I remember sitting in my Pre-cal class, when a teacher came in and said, " Turn on CNN something awful has happened." We turned it on just in time to see the second plane hit. A big gasp fell across the room. I don't think we have been that silent in years. What was happening? Was there going to be more planes crashing in different places? Were we going to die? So many questions ran through my mind. We watch the TV for about 20 minutes then had to go to our next class. This was the time of the day that i always met my mom in the hallway. I ran down to wait for her just to see her reaction (nothing is ever really that bad unless your parents are upset too). She had tears in her eyes as she grabbed me. I've never been held that close. We stood there and talked for a few minutes about it and then had to go to class. The whole school watched it for the rest of the day. I remember driving home and thinking how weird it looked outside. It would never be the same again. We were no longer safe. As soon as my dad got home that night, our family circled up and we prayed together. It seemed that was the most important thing to do. Weeks went on and every night we would sit in the living room and watch the news. Slowly things started dieing down and we didn't think of it as much anymore. Even today no one really talks to the kids about it. Its kind of like they are trying to hide it or something. I feel it should be something that we talk about to our children everyday and make them understand what happened. That someone came into our country and tried to take away our Freedom and Security. But they failed because we are a strong nation and we can defeat anything. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
