interesting questionj. i remember my teachers saying "youll never forget where you were when it happened" so, even tho 9/11 iss almost over, where were you on tht fateful day?

im a sophomorei myself...just got out of gymclass. i think it was a day when we circled the track feild, so i KNOW i was tired. entering algebra, subsitute agian. they had the teacher. i saaw one plane ccrash into the tower and i thought they had on one of those final destination movies or whataver you want to call them types of flicks. it accured to me shortly that it was NOT a movvie. we spent the class watching some of ht ecoverage.
i handicaped so get to leave class 5 min early, but i think the whole thing screwed my mind cuz i left clas 15 minutes early instead, so i was left wndering the hall outside my next class talking to the NTA's about it. then when US history started, our principle came on the loud speaker saying something about IT,.... dont rmeember what he said exactly, bu he forbade anyone from turning on the TVs XD

thats all i remember.

next?

Ahh, 6th grade. Of course, with the time difference I was just getting up for school when my mom came into my room and told me to turn on my TV and I saw some of the footage. It just blew my mind.

The day started out like any other, I got up and ready for school. My mom drove me to my junior high, dropped me off and then I walked to my first class. I went inside and the television was on.

I sat down and watched, the tv had a reporter standing in front of a cloud of smoke and he announced that the towers had been hit. I just sat there, confused, wondering what was going on.

I asked my teacher, and she said that the World Trade Center in New York City had been hit. After a while the tv went off and we got to write in our notebooks about how we were feeling just then.

I remember vaguely going to my other classes and talking about it a little bit but the day went on as scheduled.

I RAN home to watch Digimon and found the WTC on every channel. Damn them, I missed a brilliant episode of Digimon. I shall never forgive them for that!

I was sleeping.

I woke up, and turned on the tv before school, heard that school was off, and then went back to bed.

I was taking a test in senior high school XD when suddenly, a teacher entered and informed about it... and when I got home, tv, radio, newspaper... all about that.

I was at school, any normal day. The teachers were the one who seemed uneased. When I got home, my mother turned on the TV and told me what happened. I remember shivering when I saw the Towers fall.

Ahhh... 9/11... 10th grade..

When that occuried I was on the bus heading to school (thirty minute drive since my school was nineteen miles) we were listening to the radio, some new music, when suddenly someone came on and said that a plane hit the WTC.

Being half asleep none of us really thought much of it; well during first period several students were talking about (PE) but after PE I went to history class and on the TV was the secnod air craft hitting the tower. My blood turned cold because I also hard the Pentagon had also been hit, and my older brother works there and was suppose to be on THAT side (the side that was hit)

Our stupid dean announced on the intercomm. and told ALL the teachers to TURN OFF the TV's and to get back to teaching.. (stupid fool) of course no one listened

School was let out early that day (twelve) because of the attack on our country, I went home, asked my father about my brother and let out a sigh of relief when he told me that my bro wasn't on that side when it happened, strangely enough, he had car trouble trouble that day and ended up being on the other end of the Pentagon when the plane struck.

Two days later though my school held a memorial because in the senior broadcast journalism class we had two students at the WTC doing an article on the towers... they didn't survive... that's a day that I still remember..

Iwas at school.And when I was home,my mom said something terrible happened in the United States.Back at that time ,I didn't even know what the World Trade Center was...(Shame on me!!!But maybe it was normal:I live in Belgium...)
And even if I didn't know what it was,I was shocked .And I was so sad for the people who died there...

Watching the news about the incident at the 9/11 which replaced the daily morning cartoons at the time. Although there was some discussion about the incident when I came to school that day.

Hm...I remember I was watching something on Nickelodeon when my uncle burst into the house and told us about it. We switched to CNN and saw it. It was all over the news...

WingedHeart · « **Reply #13 on:** February 08 2008, 10:55 am »

I was in my 5th grade reading class when it happened. Back then I had no idea what the World Trade Center was. remember being at recess and my best friend telling me what happened but I thought, "oh well, whatever." It wasn't until I got home and my mom turned on the news and I saw the footage and I realized how serious it was.
