I was outside my 1st grade classroom with the rest of my class watching it go into the sky. Living close to the cape every launch was exciting ,and we always went to watch them. like every kid i had a dream to work in space , and be a famous explorer. So these events were truely special for me at least. We knew that this mission had a teacher on it , and as it exploded and the wreckage fell to earth 99 percent of my class cheered and claped because there was one less teacher in the world and that benefited them. while i balled my eyes out understanding what the loss really ment along with my teacher at the time. From that day on i have assumed that the intentions of my fellow americans is always to better themselves over their community. When i refect upon this horrible event i can only think of how a child always shows his/her true feeling's , and that these people are now in their 20's, and are most likely as selfish and inconsiderate of their fellow human beings as ever.
That is what i took from that day.
