Where was I when the
Challenger exploded?
I was in
class, and i dont
remember which
grade.. probably
sixth. We all got together for a new
advancement in learning, because a
teacher was going up into
space. It was a really cool idea that was hailed in the
press for a while.
The funny thing is, that was the tragedy of our childhood, perhaps our generation. That's why we all remember it. Similar to our parent's generation where
JFK got shot... Everyone in my family knows exactly where they were when JFK was shot. Each had it's own meaning, but similar meaning. Both told us how much we were fallable, and how much our "
perfect" reality (aka
Camelot) could be shattered.
