I was 13, I missed school that day- overslept. I woke up and heard it all over the radio, thinking "Why is everyone playing the same thing?" Then went out to the living room where my now ex-stepdad was sitting and asked him what was going on. He was quite callous, so Ii didn't think much of it. He said it was "just some buildings" and that "they wouldn't be doing anything at school". Then we sat there and watched the news reports of what had just taken place because "Well, there's nothing else on". So a part of me didn't think it was a big deal, but I kept wondering about it.
The next day I went to school, then the shock set in. Over the course of the next several days, I'd been told a girl who road my bus lost both of her parents on one of the planes, and our English teacher had told us how we would be affected by this when we were older. As that first week unfolded I started realizing how bad this really was, as well as how stupid and horrible people like my stepdad were- and it set something off in me.
Do you remember where you were on 9/11?
