What Do You Remember About September 11, 2001? 

By Katherine Schulten 

Where were you nine years ago Saturday? What do you remember about that day or the days immediately after? If you‘re in junior high, high school or even the first years of college now, you may have been too little then to have been aware of what was happening on the day itself. If so, what have you heard from adults or older friends or relatives about what those days and weeks were like?

Students, tell us what you remember — if you were old enough to remember anything — about September 11, 2001 or the days that followed it. If you don‘t remember anything, what memories of that day have you heard older friends or relatives describe? [...] Students 13 and older are invited to comment below. Please use only your first name. For privacy policy reasons, we will not publish student comments that include a last name.
