Reply #: I had to teach that day too [View All]

I live on the West coast,my husband woke me up and said a plane has hit the world trade centers. He always gets up early and watches the news. I said, "what is it?" and he said "maybe an accident." I walked out in the front room, just in time to see the second plane make this long circling arch and hit building two. At about the same time reports were coming from all over that two other planes were "out there." I had to get to school. When I got there everyone was in the library watching TV's. The kids (middle school age) were somewhere between shock and hysteria. Some were very quiet and crying, some were upset asking things like "Are we all going to die?" We spent the day discussing school safety, personal safety and what everyone was feeling. I didn't really have time to think about how I felt until later in the day. Then I went home and we watched the news for 2 days. I just remember thinking later "What does it ALL mean?" Still don't think we know the answer to it.
