It was junior year of high school for me and I was sitting in my Biology class. Our headmaster relayed the tragic news to us over the intercom. While we had a break after first period everyone was circled around the TV and we heard the fighter jets flying overhead. Exactly one year later during senior year on September 11, 2002 I happened to be sitting in the same classroom, in the same exact seat. I still get chills today thinking of how I was in the same place when we heard the news and the moment of silence a year later. My heart goes out to all those that lost loved ones during the attacks. I'm proud to say almost 4 years later our country is still strong and our bond will continue...
