Where was I when the Challenger accident occurred?

I was an eight grader at Chestnut Junior High School.  I distinctly remember
being told by one of my teachers, Mr. Roche.  However, he had a reputation of
being a joker, and nobody believed him.  He wouldn't even put on the TV to
prove it, so we didn't believe a word he said.  Our next class was Social
Studies with Mr. Mills.  Unfortunately, he was out that day, and we had a sub
who ALSO told us the bad news.  By this time, it started to sink in.  
Needless to say, very little was done for the rest of the day.  I don't
remember much of what happened for the rest of the day, I was in a state of
shock.  To this day, I still get chills when I see the explosion.  Let's ALL
hope that it never happens again...
