I was in 9th grade, in home room at the time and the tv was turned on and we were watching it. The girl from across the table from me started crying, I guess her dad was attending a meeting in tower 2 at the time, but he escaped. It's one of those surreal moments that sticks with you. After that we were all rushed to the gym and stayed there for a hour or two, then attended classes again although every class the tvs were on.. so we payed attention to that all day.
-- Another interesting note, in June 2001 end of the year 8th grade trip, we went to the WTC in NY and statue of liberty. It's hard comprehending such massive buildings not there anymore.
