Yes, I was in elementary school. Teachers were whispering to one another and I didn't know what was going on. Then an announcement was made that some kids would go home (they had notified parents that they could pull their kids from school). At lunch, the older kids were telling us that there was a plane that was going to hit our school.
I didn't truly know what had happened until I went home. I watched CNN with my parents all evening on that day and constantly for many days following.
As horrible as it may sound, that day was one of two (the other being the 2000 election) that really launched my interest in politics and government. I wanted to know why it happened and what we could do as a country to respond.
