Music Instructor Mrs. Reece
Q: Where were you during the attacks on 9/11?
A: I was in the second week of my first teaching job ever, working grades K-5.
Q: How did you find out that a plane hit one of the towers?
A: I was in the teachers lounge and the president of the PTA told me that one of the towers was hit. I didn’t know what happened or why at first. I saw the second plane hit live on the news.
Q: Do you know anyone involved directly, or anyone there in New York that day?
A: No but I heard of kids who lost their parents.
Q: What was your reaction to the attacks?
A: I remember calling my mother. I had just started working, and we were both so shocked. I remember trying to stay calm for the students. Parents were picking up their kids from school.
Q: Do you remember feeling anything specifically?
A: There was such disbelief and confusion, you didn’t feel or think anything, just shock. So many feelings and thoughts happening at once.
