I Still Remember September 11
I was in 10th grade in math class. Our teacher was from New York, another teacher came and whispered something to him. You could see him turn as white as a sheet, he just turned the TV on to a local news station and sat at his desk.
All classes for the day were cancelled essentially. We went to our next class and basically just sat watching the news all period. I felt compelled to keep a timeline of events but eventually tossed it after a few hours, not really sure why.
I normally went to another school half the day but we were under lockdown and no one went to that school for the day. Since I and many others were basically orphaned, we had the option of going to another class or the library, most of us went to the library.
It was quite scary for us cause my high school was in downtown Atlanta near the CDC, and there were rumors the CDC was another target. By the afternoon, they were convinced we were safe and lifted the lockdown letting us go home at normal time.
