School had just begun and I was just getting into the swing of things. I clearly remember walking into school just the same thing, so use to it being so simple and not complicated at all. I walk into my first period class civics with Mr. Goudy with absoutly no interest in learning about politicians. We were taking notes and all of these teachers kept walking into his room and whispering things. This was confusing so he turned on the t.v in our room and we were astonished with the pictures flashing before us. Death and misery was not in the distant Middle East anymore it was in our house and until it happens to you, you just don't realize the whole picture. The whole rest of the day we walked about like zombies and we would occansionally laugh to break the tension, but it sounded so distant and very unimportant. That is my story it isn't amazing or life threatning, but it is what I felt and I will never forget it!
