6. I remember

and it's funny to think back, how my memories have remained the same, yet my perception of the events themselves has completely changed.

12. Do I know you? I was

in Mrs. Johnson's 7th grade English class as well. We were working on book reports and it was surprising how many were reading a biography of Jackie Kennedy.

15. Not that far away.

I was in Wyoming. It happened during our lunchtime and we had to go to class afterward. Do not recall getting anything done after that.

16. We had just had lunch, and were starting class when the announcement came over the intercom

They dismissed the class, and we were sent home

That is one of those events that most of us remember exactly where we were

9. 11th grade teacher came into our classroom visibly upset

and gave us the news. One of the worst days in US history.

10. I was freshman in high school.

All of a sudden the P.A. system had the radio going into all classrooms. Just utter despair and shock. Students, teachers all crying as announcement was made that President Kennedy was dead. School was let out and we all just walked around in dazed grief.

I think everyone who was old enough to understand on that day not only remembers, but still can actually feel how they did during that time.
