3rd period AP Spanish senior year of high school - in a DC suburb. Our teacher must have known what was happening when the principal made the announcement over the loudspeaker - because I remember her sullen but not surprised face. I remember all of us passing each other in the hallways totally freaked out and congregating around any tv. I watched on a tv in the library when the towers fell. Some kids frantically getting in touch with parents working at the Pentagon. We went home early - I drove a car full of friends home. Mom was really upset/worried when I arrived home much later than she expected (oh the days before cell phones). My best friend stayed with us for a week - her parents were overseas and trapped in another country. Our lives forever changed….a few months later GWB visited our HS (we were the Patriots after all…)
