Where was I, 10 years ago today.
14 years ago
English Class. Freshmen year of High school. Miami Sunset Senior High.
I was in English class, first period. first year of high school. There was an announcement for everyone to turn their TVs on to the local news. We looked up, a rag-tag bunch of E.S.E kids (in other words kids with learning disabilities), and saw it. The screen lit up with a slow-motion replay of the first airplane crashing into one of the towers. Right as it was finished, it cut to a live news footage just as the second plane took out the remaining tower.
Being as I was from NY, and had family that lived near the towers, I was scared. Even more scared at the news I received when I heard one of my family members was supposed to be on one of the planes. I am such an emotional person that I broke down. I couldn't take it. I was crying heavily and my teacher had to send for my sister, who was in her senior year, to calm me down.
The rest of that day, I stayed so deathly calm that it was like I was a zombie during the duration of the day. when it came time to go home. me and my sister waited for our parents to come pick us up.
I don't remember me having such a sad, slow day, hearing news updates all day made it bad, but i bottled it all in. kept my composure all day after that initial breakdown.
I don't think I handled the day well...

I was in my 4th grade class /:
I couldn't quiet understand what was going on.
All I remember was kids were being picked up early from school, some kids we're talking about going to war excitedly, and the teachers we're shocked.
I'm sorry it had such an emotional toll on you.
If you need someone to talk to I'm right here (: <3
I didn't forget our epic adventures at Super Con.
