Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: This was a terrible day for me. I prepared for my classes as usual. But, something had happened. I could only get bits and pieces of it. As the teachers came into the library, they left their students with me to go to the nearest television. So as not to cause the students distress, I stood there cool headed with a smile on my face (business as usual) while all along I was getting the worst headache. I could hear gasps and ahhs. Comments like "New York is on fire!" could be heard coming from the other room. One teacher came in saying," They've bombed the Pentagon!" Before I knew it I blurted out, "Are we at war?" She knew nothing. By the time I got a break I ran to the television just in time to see a re-cap of the towers crumbing. MY GOD, WHAT'S GOING ON! Nothing will be the same. I thank God for our soldiers, decision makers, and others who must keep a cool head and a clear mind in times of distress. I know that they are trained to do this. But, I am sure that none ever thinks that something like this would/could happen on their watch. I was standing with kids which is not even close to what others went through. But, it was so hard. I think that in the long run all of us are soldiers. We all have duties, are on duty, and are responsible for our ever improving way of life. So, whether it be a class of kids, an office of workers, a troop of men, or a country of people we share this life and this reponsibility. And I think that we do a good job America. Don't You?
