I was a sophomore in high school. In most of our classes they suspended the normal curriculum and took some time to explain to us all what happened and why. What it represented, what would happen after. When I saw it on TV I thought it was some sort of movie at first. I had no idea how to react. I couldn't comprehend at the time what was going on, I was blissfully uncaring about a bunch of angry men in some burning sea of sand.
