Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I was a freshman in high school having a normal day I went to first hour, U.S. Government Excel, and then I went to second hour, Keyboarding 1. We were just doing a normal assignment and having a normal class and the bell rang and so I left and headed toward my third hour class, Physical Science Excel. On my way one of my classmates was like "they bombed us, we'll get them back." And this kid was one of those people that you just kinda ignore not knowing what they are really talking about so I just nodded my head and smiled. Then I walk it third hour and some people are like oh my god I can't believe this happened and me and some other people were trying to figure out what was going on. So we asked one of my classmates and they were like well the World Trade Centers were hit and I was like World Trade Centers? I didn't know what the World Trade Centers were or where they were at, at first I didn't even know what they were...I was so confused. Well the bell rang for class to start so everyone sat down and my teacher was like well I'm sure you all heard what happened. And some of us were like no so she explained. I was still kinda of confused but she turned on the news and we started watching it. I think I watched the news in all of my classes except in spanish class where some kid decided we should watch it on the spanish channel so you really couldn't tell what was going on. And finally our prinicipal came over the intercom and explained what happened and announced that all after school activities were cancelled. So the rest of the day I went home and watched the news and whenever I wasn't busy I watched the news and I recall how for like the whole next week that was like the only thing on the regular channels. I didn't really understand what was going on at first but I definately understand now and I know I will never forget that day because it's like I know it will the back of my hand. And I remember from then on everyone had red, white, and blue and flags. My parents went to the store to buy a flag and at like every place they were sold out it was the coolest things to see our nation come together. I will never forget September 11, 2001!~!
