Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: It was second hour during school. I was a teachers aid so I was on my way to the office to make copies for her class. I heard gasps from out Gen-Net room. (It had Tv's in it that show the rooms of other schools and teacher is at 1 site while the rest of the students learn via television) The 60's Vietnam class was in awe so I stopped in out of curiousity. I watched the 2nd plane hit the trade center. I dropped all my copies over the floor and stared at it. I ran to the office and got the secretaries and principal to come see what was going on. Many of us began to cry, even our history teacher. I'd never seen a grown man cry before. For the rest of the day our eyes were glued to the TV's in every class room. We discussed it and shared our feelings. A girl in my french class aunt died in the trade center. They never found her body. It bothered me that it took this to make me realize who real heros and stars are. Sure celebrities have their fancy houses and get to be on TV. Fireman and Policeman risk their lives every day. THose are true heros. They should be on the covers of vouge and Seventeen, not celebrities with the perfect bodies. THat day changed my life, the way a percieve things. It changed my whole attitude on life. I'll never be the same. But in a sense, I changed for the better Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
