It has been twelve years.
I know that everyone has that memory.
The memory of where they were when the attacks happened.
I was in class. All of the teachers were in the hallway whispering to each other. We knew that something really bad was going on but we weren't sure exactly what. They were trying to figure out whether or not to tell us and how. I remember hearing one of the teachers being very adamant and arguing with the others saying, "they need to know!" Finally they gave in and turned on the tvs in all of the classrooms...just in time for us to witness the second plane crashing into the towers.
My heart goes out to all of the families that have lost loved ones due to 9/11.
May you Rest in Peace.
