I know you all have been bambarded by all the e-mails, but this really
touched me b/c I am a teacher.
My Generation
I am one of the youngest members of Generation X.
I was just a baby during the Camp David Accords.
I do not remember when President Reagan was shot.
The Iran Contra Hearings are a vague memory that I did not understand at the
time. I was 9 when the Challenger exploded. I was watching MTV when it
happened. I was 13 at the start of Desert Storm and no one I knew was directly
involved. I did not see how it affected me. I was in high school when Waco
happened. It seemed so far away. I was 19 when the Murrah building was
destroyed. I was shocked, but wrapped up in college life. I was 23 during
Columbine. I wondered what was happening in our schools.
Today I am 25.
I am a daughter.
I am a sister.
I am a wife.
I am a teacher.
I touch the future everyday.
For twenty-five years, I have stood with my hand on my heart and recited the
Pledge and the sang the Star Spangled Banner.
For twenty-five years, I have said these words and not understood their
significance.
I watch my students roll their eyes when they are required to do the same
things in the morning.
September 11th, I watched the news and saw thousands of Americans die.
Today, I said the Pledge and I sang the Star Spangled Banner.
Today, I understand what those words mean.
Today, I know what it means to be an American.
Today, I cried.
