Isn't it funny how you can remember specific moments like this? (My Mom can tell me what she was doing when JFK and when MLK were killed.) Sad and scary.
I was in class, my 10th grade AP European History class. I had no idea anything was happening until I went to my next class, Spanish, and some guys were talking about it. They were totally idiots and so the teacher thought they were joking. To prove them wrong she turned the TV on and the timing was unfortunate enough that we saw the live feed of the second plane.
My Mom picked me up from school that day. The whole family sat in the house together. Sometimes it takes horrific moments to make you take thought and gather what means the most. |
