Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: It was freshmen year of high school, I was in my english class, I remember someone knocked on the door to tell our teacher to turn on the tv, she said whatever it was it could wait. Everyone in the class felt diffrently tword her from that day forward. Our class was one of the only ones in the whole school that did not see the events unfold, it wasnt untill passing time that I found out what had happend. My friend came up to me crying, and it was then that I noticed that many people were crying and huging, she jumped on me and gave me a huge hug and started to ask me what I thought, and why I WASN'T crying. I asked her why she was. I told her I didnt know what happend. She then said "you dont know? a plane crashed into the twin towers and you dont know?" I, thinking it was a joke replied "well no... but the pilots are supposed to fly over the buildings" I still feel horible everytime I think about my remark. I feel guilty for not taking it more seriously, it wasnt until next hour when the tv's were on that I felt reality sinking in, I, like most of the US was tuned in by then, and I like the rest of the people watching saw the buildings fall. I remember the scilence, the whole school was silent. then the principle came on over the intercom and told us that this was going to change everything, that life as we know it would be affected and that we should gather our belongings, and see our teachers for assignments because the busses would leave in an hour to take us home to be with our family, persons with cars could leave then. a girl on my soccer team lost a uncle that day. America lost a lot that day. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
