Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I was sitting in my second hour spanish class just like any other day. It was early in the morning. After the second hour bell rang, I walked out into the hall as I did every other day. I remember someone who i did not know walking down the hall yelling "We are going to war." This sentance confused me as i had no idea what he was talking about. During the ten minute break period, rumor started to go around that a bomb had been detonated in Washington. I knew then tha something big had happened. From there, I wandered to my third hour class early. My teacher had the TV on, and I sat there alongside some of my fellow classmates. I remember the visuals, watching there in disbelief. The smoke of the towers was unbelievable. The newscasters who were talking at the time knew just as much as we did. Nothing. Third hour began, and the rest of my classmates became filing in. Little by little, more information came in about the events. We were astonished to know that a plane had hit the building. No none of use knew why. Then the second plane came crashing into the second tower. I thought that it was just a replay of the first crash. When I saw that both of the buildings were now burning, i knew that it was for real. The sight was horrific. For the rest of the day, in all of my classes, we watched the news. ALl of us had questions. All of us had mixed emotions. After school, i went home. I remember driving by a gas station, and seeing a twenty car line for gas. People were panicing. When I arrived home, I immediatly went to the tv. By now, they were showing the same footage, and had no new information. I remember that my father called me, and asked me how I was. He said he was leaving work early, adn that he would be home soon. On 9/11, i had a day full of emotions. Fear, anger, sadness. This is my story.
