Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: It was the second day of school and the students where working on making their work folders. There was a comotion in the hallway, all I understood was a plane hit the twin towers. I could not believe it. I ran to get the T.V. that was still locked up, it was difficult to get a reception, but we managed. I could not believe what I was seeing. Chill filled my body as I tryed to hold back the tears. All the children in the room stared at my and the other teacher in the room. As we witnessed the first tower collapes, my heart dropped. I froze and didn't know how to react. Sadness filled me and then the tears came. My collegue was worried about her husband who works in New York and was on his way to the City. She tried to contact him, but all lines were either jamed or dowm. We comforted each other and tryed to find a way to tell our fourth graders about this tragedy, which probably might affect them directly, since some parents work in New York. Some children where in shock, but others could not comprehend what was happening. We allowed them to watch the T.V. report and repeat of the collape. Parents came poring into the school to take their children home with fear that they might be in danger. This was not the way I planned to start the school year. Lucky for me and many of my collegues, we did not lose any loved ones, but my heart and prayers go out to the families that were directly affected. May God Bless them and protect them and all of us.
