9/11

YesNoI was in high school when it happened.  I remember every one of my teachers playing the news on TV all day.  My dad was on a flight home from a business trip and I remember watching in horror, hoping he wasn't on one of those planes.  Thankfully he wasn't.

I absolutely pay attention to it. My employer doesn't do anything. I remember exactly where I was when I found out what happened.  I was a first year teacher and we had a staff meeting.  We didn't know anything until the kids came in and asked to watch tv.  I had a boy in my class who's dad worked for the government in a job he couldn't speak of, so the kid didn't know if his dad was okay.  My dad was flying that morning, and lunch couldn't come soon enough to be able to call home and ask my mom if he was safe.  Every year on this day, I am especially thankful for my dad.

Yes.No... well, maybe.  I'm not at work today and I honestly don't remember last year.It was a horrible event.  I still remember watching people jumping out of the buildings and trying not to cry at my desk.
