Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I was in school in my 3rd class of the day; science. We were coloring earthquake maps and needless to say, we were havin fun. (Even though we were 12 and 13 years old) It was a nice day out side warm and the kind of day you cant wait to get home skip homework and play basketball outside after school. But in the middle of my class i heard the voice of mt proncipal on the P.A system, wich we never do cuz shes always too busy (wich isnt her fault) and has one of the secratarys do it. So the class quieted down right away. She said, ?ladies and gentlemen, the country has just experienced a terrible tragedy.? She stopped to let it sink in. I kind of zoned out after I heard that so I think she said something like, ?4 planes have been hijacked and flown into some of our country?s landmarks, DO NOT and I repeat, DO NOT go outside or watch T.V?. I freaked out. I asked my teacher what was going on, she told me she couldnt tell me beacuse she didnt know. In my 6th class one of my friends Kyle stood on his chair and asked us if we wanted to know what happened. We yelled "hell yeah!" I was scared, I needed to know. "was it in Rhode island? is my family all right? was it in New York? My whole family is there! what the hell!" Kyle told us that the World Trade center was hit and collapsed and the pentagon was hit but it didnt collapse. I knew that my uncle worked close to the twin towers. I disnt know how close so I cried. I almost passed out I was so scared. I went to the nurse told her I didnt feel good and I needed to call my mom. She called for me. Iwas liek is Uncle Douglas and Uncle Keith all right??? She told me that all my uncle saw was the second tower to collapse , collapse and all that was hurt was his mind....(hes scared for life u know)....My Aunt coulndt get a hold of her dad tho( we found him the next day).....My uncle keith was okay because he was taking my new-born cousin home the hospital that day. When I went home I begged my mom to take me to New York so I could volunteer to clean up the site. She told me I was too young. (hey, at least I tried) G-d bless America It is G-ds responsibility to fogive Osama Bin Laden (if he wants!) but it is the U.S militarys resposibility to make that meeting A.S.A.P Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
