Within a couple of minutes I had seen the most horrific thing in my life when the one tower came down onto itself. At that point I decided that I couldn’t work experiencing what I had just seen and returned to my vehicle and started heading home. On my way home I saw the F16 fighter jets and emergency vehicles on their way into New York City. At that point I think it became reality as to what really happened at the Twin Towers. When I arrived home there was a feeling that had come over me that this could actually be our last day on earth if these attacks kept occurring.
I was afraid of heights, so at one time I told my parents that I was too scare to do it, but I had no choice because the tickets was already bought. On the day of the flight my family woke up at 6:00am and we were out the door at 7:00am. We have already packed 3 days ahead of times so that I knew I wasn’t missing anything as we head to Tan Son Nhat International Airport, located seven kilometers (4.3 miles) to the center of Ho Chi Minh City, and is the largest airport in the country. The ride that I had to get there has to be the longest ride I have been on. When I was on the car ride to the Airport it felt like time had slowed down and it was torturing me for how long it took to get there.
She ended up telling my grandma she was pregnant, who was very upset about it, and eventually my grandpa found out. He was so 38 disappointed that he kicked my mom out of the house. She moved in with my dad, thinking things were going to be good now that her family was together, but little did she know that the next five months were going to be terrible. My dad was the total opposite of what she
Of course, she withdrew her notice. Fear of Flying Simon was extremely distressed by flying and had cancelled previous flights at the last moment because he felt unable to get on the plane. Not only that, he found it difficult to be a passenger in a car. Things had come to a head when he had booked and paid for a 3-month holiday to America. After 6 sessions, his anxiety had almost gone.
After my mother was able to calm down, and my father returned from work, they sat me down to explain what had happened. They told me that many innocent people had died in plane crashes that day, and that some very bad people had killed them all for no
“She said that my life is being subsumed by yours and that it’s as though I’ve joined some sort of eco-cult and you are the cult leader” (Beaven-75). When Colin contacted his family, he received a similar reaction. His plan was “instead of two three-day trips at Thanksgiving and Christmas” they would “take one weeklong trip for one holiday and stay home and relax for the other” (Beaven-82). His mother did not understand because “the train will run whether you are on it or not” (Beaven-82) and that his sister would be devastated that they would be missing his baby shower. I can only imagine what my family would do if I said something to them like Colin and Michelle did to theirs.
I suffered some serious health issues that kept me off work for a while and ultimately led to the loss of a job. Vivian had graduated high school and wanted to start college in Texas as well. Elizabeth and Joe made the ultimate sacrifice and opened their home to us until I could get back on my feet. Now we were on our way home and to meet our beautiful Emily Jane. We had skyped before, so we had seen her over the computer, but now in just a very short amount of time, we would finally be seeing and holding her at last!
He comes to the kitchen where I was sitting and looks at me with a confused face and tells me “where are you going?” “School” I replied, “you are not going to school anymore, we are moving remember?” he says. Apparently someone forgot to tell me I was moving across the world to a place called Saudi Arabia, the nest couple of weeks were sad and depressing as I was spending my last days in the country before I moved for four years. When the day finally came to take our flight, all of our family members came that evening to say their goodbyes. We arrived at the airport still with our heads down, got onboard and took off for a 12 hour flight; I don´t remember much of the flights as I slept almost the entire time. Once we arrived in Saudi we did the same process as always, go through aa tunnel and go to customs, when we exited the tunnel there was military men everywhere left and
The next day the movers finished packing all of our stuff from our two story house in Pinson, Alabama. We hopped on a plane and flew all the way to Texas. I remember being sad that I left my whole family and friends that had been there with me my whole life. It didn’t help that we moved about two weeks before school started and I was very nervous about attending a school where I knew no one. It didn’t help that I had a very thick accent compared to most of the people in
She only spoke Spanish at the time. When she got off the airplane, she found her mother and brother waiting for her. A few days after the airplane ride, she was attending school. She said “It was one of the hardest things I had ever done. I felt like
