Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: The day began as any other normal day. I was ready to begin my job as a teacher at Yazoo City High School. I assumed the day would be like any other day. Both myself and my students would receive a lesson that will never be forgotten. First period came and went. Second period Advanced Placement Biology students and I went to the science lab to complete an experiment. The teacher next door to us said you have to turn on the television and see what has just happened in New York City. In a small town in Mississippi, I watched, along with my five students, as the World Trade Center buildings fell to the ground.

As we watched in disbelief ,the news came about the plane crashing into the Pentagon and the plane crashing into the we heard of the plane crash in I prayed that they were ChristiansI remember needing to simply find a seat in order to sit down because my legs grew weak at the site on the television screen. I could only think of the families who would be changed forever. September 11, 2001 would be the first day of the rest of their life.

Once again I sit and wonder what is the world coming to. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
