Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: To me it is not as important where I was and when it happened as to the fact that it did happen. I think that WHAT happened is the most important infromation you could get, but if you must know.... It was a normal Teusday afternoon at the Marlborough Boys and Girls Club, I had just walked in the Teen Center door when Shannon (the Teen Center staff)told my freind Holly and I to sit down. Holly and I sat there aimlessly waiting for the news she was about to share with us. She said troubbledly, "There has been a misfortune,today four planes took off. All headed in different drections. Two planes hit the World Trade Center, causing them both to collapse. Another one tore into the pentagon. There is still no news on the last plane." I really didnt understand at the time or maybe I just didnt want to understand. I was feeling a little nervous and a little scared, but all at the same time, confused. Holly started tearing and I didnt know how to react to this devistation. I was just in shock. Then Shannon turned on the news. Thats when I saw, with my own eyes, the horror and destruction of our nation.This event happened in the morning while I was at school but I guess the school decided not to tell us because of emotional elements and the learning evironment or maybe they though that we couldnt handle it. I am not sure why they didnt tell us right away. This tradgic event realy hasn't effected my life in any way. Right now I am worried about school and homework, thins teenagers should be worried about. Not a war that I cant even fight in! I need to concentrate on daily issues. I guess I am lucky though because I didnt have anyone close to me die or was even close to dying. I have to focus on living my life to the fullest. Now or days it is possible to imagine Marlborough being the next target of hell. I think that the entire day was important, not just one part.If I HAD to pick one thing, however, it would be the fact that this country came together as one and worked to help each other no matter what our differences were! I think all of us should remember the love, care, hope, unity, strength, and brotherhood that this country lost as one and regained as one. we should not remember the pain, suffering, hate, and gamages this tradgic event cause us. WE JOINED TOGETHER, HAD THE HOPE TO STAY STRONG, HAD THE STRENGTH TO FIGHT BACK, AND HAD OUR LOVE FOR EACHOTHER.
