This would have been my answer even if it wasn't 9/11 today.
Am I the only person who can't hear references to the year 2001 without thinking of 9/11? Even if anyone mentions a year prior to 2001, my immediate thought is, "That was pre-9/11." It was a different world back then... I knew the world would change in the days following as I stayed glued to the news, but I couldn't have imagined what we would become accustomed to.
I was in Band that morning, a sophomore in high school.
By the end of the day, about half the school population had left. Classes "continued," but really, we all just discussed what was happening. My Pre-AP World History teacher told us that living through history was just as important as remembering it, and encouraged us to discuss, write, and remember the day in detail.
Where were you on 9/11/2001?
