I was in my first job out of grad school teaching elemenatry school here in southeastern Pennsylvania. When I heard that the first tower was hit by a plane, I admit that I didn't think much of it; thinking it some guy in a Cessna that was either confused or intoxicated. All that changed when I was between classes and came to the faculty room just in time to see the second plane hit the South Tower on the TV. At that point, I knew that our world had changed irrevocably; a defining watershed moment in history that I had never personally witnessed up until that moment. I don't think that I could quite adequately describe my feelings.
