Remembering 9/11
On September 11, 2001, I was walking to my classroom. Our school's audiovisual clerk came out onto the sidewalk to stop me. I could hear the television blasting from her workroom. She motioned to me, "You have to come and look at this. A plane just crashed into the World Trade Center in New York City." The morning kept on. Then, there was a second plane. Then, the towers fell. Students were scared and had so many questions about what was happening. It was a day when teachers knew no answers. We all lived in liminal space between disbelief and speculation.
