A junior in high school during 9-11, an AU freshman reflects
ST. LOUIS - Sitting with my back against my high school locker, I was hurrying to finish my homework during my free period. A girl from my French class walked by me in the hall and mumbled something about checking the news on the Internet. Just then I heard the television turn on in the chemistry class a few feet away from me, blaring the familiar voice of Katie Couric. I peeked my head in the room to see a picture on the television that I would see hundreds of times again. The World Trade Center in New York City was crumbling to the ground.
