Historical event do I remember?

It would be 9/11 as it was 2001, and I was in the sixth grade, and I remember us being in the hallway.

And I remembered some girl telling my friend whose sister was stationed in New York that her sister was probably dead. Me and my other friends and I comforted her and told her not to listen to that girl because she was wrong. Her sister was fine when she got through to her on her phone later.

I also remember they made me and my older sister wait to be picked up by our parents in the office and told us to do our homework while we waited.

And then, later on, once we were home, we watched the news, and they told us the whole story and advised parents to allow their kids to stay home the next day if they needed the time, for it was a sad and tragic day.

And I remember us crying and taking that day off and going back the day after, and it’s one of those things you will never forget. Even 22 years later
