I was in school...hmm...2001...I guess that would've been 10th grade for me. I went to a really small Christian school & I didn't have a first period class, so I always hung out in the secretaries office helping her out. We always had the news on in the morning & we heard about the first plane. The principal was also in there. He gathered all 8th-12th graders & had us sit in the cafeteria w/a tv the rest of the day, watching it. We all sat in shock as we watched the 2nd place fly through.
We lived very close to a large marine corps base that was noted could be a possible target. They were put on lock down! Several of the students' parents worked on base & they were scared they'd never see their parents again! I was so thankful my parents didn't work on base!
It seems like yesterday, but at the same time, it feels like forever ago! But, it's something I'll never forget!
