Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: It was ten oclock in the morning on Tuesday September 11, 2001 and it was such a beautiful day that I thought nothing could go wrong. I was in the weight room at Cohasset (Massachusetts) Middle High School and little did I know, that my life as an American was about to change forever. Then, out of the clear blue, the radio was turned off and in a solemn voice coach Sweeney declared Any child whose parents flew out of Logan airport this morning please see me! When the children who had talked to coach Sweeney left the room crying I just thought that maybe a flight was delayed or something. Then about fifteen minutes later, principal Jones came on to the intercom and spoke to everyone: Students, this morning a very terrible act has taken place in our country. So far the only details we have is that terrorists have hijacked planes from Boston and Newark and have flown them into the World Trade Center towers in New York City. If we learn anymore details, we will inform you immediatly!At first I thought to myself How bad could this possibly be? Were America, no one will ever attack us on our home soil! Then, after hours of uncertainty, I arrived home and witnessed the terrible truth: Both World Trade towers had disappeared from the New York Skyline! This sent me over the edge. I began to cry and was as scared as I have ever been. That special security blanket that most Americans had, had just been stolen from us! That night, I tried to release my feelings by attending a vigil at my parish, but I just could not get those gruesome photos that were on the TV out of my head. That night, I cried myself to sleep, and in the morning, I woke up ready to endure my first day of post 9/11 America.
