Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: My story isn't as interesting as somebody who was there at the wtc or at the pentagon who even as interesting as somebody who knew anynbody who worked at either of these places. However I would like to share it with you. It was a really sunny day as most days that have horrific events occur in them are. The bells rang telling all of the students at mvhs that it was time that they be in their second period class by now. My 2nd period, was french with Mr. Ament. My peers and myself, came in and saw the news on like always so we didn't pay any mind to what was going on. After everybody settled in, Mr. Ament turned the tv off just so we wouldn't get distracted. Everybody started on thier warm ups and then started talking like always untill Mr. A completed his own work. about 20 or so minutes after the bell rang, one of the administrators, came on ovetr the loud speaker telling everyone to reamin calm, that we would stay in school for the remainder of the day but that there would be no after school activities. We all kind of went what?? Whats going on? Mr. A said I don't know...hmm maybe if we turn on the news they'll tell us something. He ment the school news not the main news. (So because he had tunred the tv off on the chanel that the actual news was on, that was the chanel that was going to be turned back on.) But we never got to see the school news because cnbc was showing New York in a cloud of smoke and one of the mighty buldings that New York knows as a land mark had fallen. Tower one was falling followed closly by its twin...Tower two. Then around 10 or so news came that the pentagon was hit too. (And since the majority of the students who attend mv are military children) And before I knew it there was a mad dash to every single pay phone, subschool, office, etc etc to see if they could get ahold of loved ones. Notes were coming in from paretns, kids were being taken out, nobody could concentrate on work for sure. And the people who remained just had group disscusions, and or watched the news for the rest of the day. And even though the sun was shinning for all it was a dark, day for most Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
