I was a junior in high school and that morning all of the juniors had to go to the gym to take the ASVAP test. We also had recruters from the Army, Navy and Marines there. We were in the gym for most of the morning. One of our teachers came and made the annoucement that the Towers and Pentagon was hit by to planes. Everyone got really quiet and I think that a couple of people started crying. They released us back to class and we all watched the news for the rest of the day. A couple of my teachers had family that worked at the Towers and one had a brother that worked at the Pentagon. It was a very sad day and I will never forget what I was doing that day!
