This is really going to show my young age! I was in 6th grade, or maybe 7th. We were in the media center, in the computer lab. They hadn't told any of us kids what was going on. A teacher came out and told someone their mom was there to pick them up from early dismissal. Then another. Then my mom. I was like, what is going on? When I got to the front of the school, all of these parents were there, and some were crying. My mom was like, "Brittany, these people are dropping bombs in NYC" or something, because at that point, I remember some rumors were that was what had happened, they had dropped them from the plane or something. Anyways, I just remember being terrified, especially when it hit so close to home (DC- Pentagon). |
