Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: September 11 was the scariest day of my life because so much has happened on this day. When I came to BMCC that day I was walking from the WTC and I didn't know that two hours from then the building would be gone. When I was in my sociology class we were told to evacuate the building. At first I thought that it was just a fire drill. But when I went out I saw a woman shaking her head and other people looking up toward the WTC. When I looked up I saw the north tower burning and thought that it was an accident and I wanted to know why no one has done anything to stop the building from burning. After a few minutes the whole WTC complex had fallen and I was running up to Harrison St. I was also crying because I was thinking about my mother who works at tower 7. When I arrived at Harrison St seaport I met a woman named Betty who escorted me to a near by school where I can call my parents. I tried to call them at another building nearby a car shop but their cell phones weren't working. So when Betty and I were at the school I immediately called my uncle and he told me that my mother was okay and that everyone was just hopping that I would be okay. I felt very relieved about that. In the school I also heard a man's voice on a radio saying that this was an act of terrorism and that we were at war. That is when I started getting upset again because I hate wars. After that Betty and took about three trains to go by 9th avenue where we parted. She started walking up to her house and I had to take the B41 to Eastern Parkway. Then I walked to my grandmother's house. At my grandmother's house everyone was there happy to see me. I told them what happened and they were very shocked. My mom has made it back home. She was two hours late for her job. I was happy to hear that. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
