Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: September 11th was a normal day for me. I woke up at 7:00 and took a shower and got ready to go to school. At this time, I was at the Middle School completing my 7th year. It seemed like a normal day, but I knew something wasn't right. That day we had a bus evacuation. We had to go on a bus and learn how to react if there was a fire on the bus or if something bad happened. My da was alsmot over when the principal came on the loud speaker and told us the horrifying news: 2 plans had hit the World Trade Center and 1 plane had hit the Pentagon. At first I didn't belive it. Actually, at that time i didn't even know what the Twin Towers or the Pentagon were. I had heard about the Twin Towers, I even saw the beuildings and I have real live pictures from when I saw them but at that moment it didn't sink in. Some people were screaming and some were even crying. That day, before I heard about the attack, I saw a girl crying and I asked er what was wrong and she wouldn't tell me and after I heard the news I knew that one of her relatives were there and probably got killed. I didn't know whatI was feeling at that moment. I didn't know whether to cry or to be hapy. I just sat there in shock trying to realize what just had happened. I got on my bus to go home and I was still trying to figure it out. After I got home, I turned on the television to hear more about the news. Evry channel was telling about the 9/11 attack. For the first time, I saw the videotape of the two plans hitting the buildings. I started to cry. I was so shocked. I never even thought it was actually that serious. When I was watching the tape, I saw people jumping out of the windows of the building trying to save their own lives. That's what made ma cry even more I saw people running away from the buildings and things falling on them. It was so terrible. That was the worst day of my life. From then on, I knew that my life had changed for ever. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
