Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: September 11, 2001 started like any usual school day. I awoke got ready for school and went. I had went to my first period gym class and played flag foot ball, nothing too interesting happened. Afterwards I changed out of my gym clothes and the bell rang to go to second hour. Once I arrived to Mr. Stevens 8th grade English class he was talking with my Algebra teacher, I didnt make much of it at the time. After my Algebra teacher left the classroom he turned the T.V. on and told the class to be quiet because something very seriouse was going on. The class didnt listen to him at first, because we didnt know just yet what was so seriouse. He then explained to us that one of the twin towers had been hit by an air plane. The class immediatly stopped talking and started paying attention to the news. A few kids in the class started crying because they had relatives who worked in the tower or around the tower. The news kept showing replays of the plane crashing into the building. It seemed so unreal, I found it hard to believe something like that had happened. As the school day progressed I learned that yet another plane had hit the second tower. Immediatly everyone knew that it was no longer a horrible accident but a terrorist attack on the United States. Not all of my teachers wanted to watch the news because it sadened them too much or because they didnt know if our parents would appreciate us watching all of what was going on. Once I got home from school my family had a big discussion on what had happened. Seeing everything that happened on September 11, 2001 was one of the most shocking things ever. I just kept hoping it was a nightmare and that I would soon wake up. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
