Well clearly September 11, 2001 because it scared the crap out of me. I had just started my senior year of high school and so a lot of my friends were 18 or turning 18 and I was convinced that we would go to war and the draft would be reinstated and all of my guy friends would have to leave. Steve and I had just started dating, he was living in Arizona and I was already having a hard time of not getting to see him that often. Just not knowing what was going to happen and what Did happen on that day was terrifying. The only class I went to that day was Bible class (Senior Seminar) with Mr. Crossland and we just watched CNN the entire time because no one knew what hell was going on. But we still had journal time at the beginning of that class so I've got those memories to look back on later in life.
Sidenote: Today is my Grandmother's birthday, which I always remember because of Pearl Harbor, not that I acknowledge it with her because that's not how we roll in my family.
