6th garde, just after we got to school. The teachers werent allowed to talk about it. Alot of kids knew, and some were afraid our school was going to get hit. I was scared to go outside. We didnt have recess that day.

i was getting on the bus to go back to school for one of my coop classes
7th grade i think, the bus driver said that something really bad had just been done to "my" people"
i was really confused, noone told us what was going on, driving home i remember laughing because there was a line of 50 cars at the marathon station filling up, and then i remember being home watching TV looking for something other then the terrorist attacks, because i was overwhelmed, i couldt take ten more seconds of it

8th grade world history class. my french teacher came running in and said she had an important announce ment and said there was just a terrorist attack on new york city and she explained all the details she heard on the news... then my history teacher went all crazy about how coincidental it was that we were in history class when it happened.

my situation is pretty interesting because of my proximity to downtown manhattan. So 7th grade, doing the normal school stuff. The windows were open because it was perfect weather, NYC in fall (like 70 and sunny). So all of a sudden kids start getting called down to the principals office (at the time we didnt know parents were taking their kids out of school.) Slowly the sky in the distance starts to turn brown with dust and a heavy smell comes in through the open windows. Our teachers kept us in the dark. We heard all different things but not until i got home at 2:30 did i actually find out what happened. I was only 12or so? but man did those images fuck with me. The smell too, when you realize that the smell was burning flesh, it just made you sick. 4 of my moms friends who worked in the WTC died. It just really sucked. I can pretty much remember that entire day start to finish. Obviously though, my poor writing doesnt reflect everything.

7th grade history class, my teacher was the department head and he got a phone call and his facial expression changed so drastically that everyone in the class noticed. then he screamed oh my god and sprinted out of the classroom. so when i figured out something bad happened really quickly.

at my locker in 7th grade. my friend came up to me and said that a plane hit the pentagon. i didn't know exactly what the pentagon was, just that it was a building, and i just figured it was a rather small plane, as well as an accident. i was wearing blue jeans and a white tshirt, and it was a beautiful day.
i remember it all so vividly, it's uncanny.

i was at my grandparents house cause my parents where at a tradeshow in like toronto or somthing and i went downstairs really early for some reason to watch tv and when i turned the tv on i saw the new story and saw the footage of the planes hitting the towers and then i went to school and didnt really know what was happening till my 5th grade teacher explained it. It was sorta strange beacuse i never watch tv in the mornings before school

8th grade personal development with this teacher that was the most annoying bitch ever and she had a mustache. someone went around to all the classrooms for everyone to come watch the tv in the cafeteria and i was like "yes i get out of this fucking class" and then i saw how intense it all was and i was like "damnnnnn id rather have class"
