Historical Events that I Remember
9/11 (2001): On September 11th 2001, I was completely unaware of what was happening that day, until one of my mom's friends told her to turn the TV on ASAP. We turned on the TV just in time to see the second plane come crashing into the standing Twin Tower. I had now idea what was going on as the Twin Towers came crashing down. Later I found out the whole story. I was only 9 when 9/11 happened so I even when I learned what actually happened I still didn't fully understand.
Cardinals Winning the World Series (2006): During the year that the St. Louis Cardinals won the World Series, I remember following the team the all the way there. From the time they won their devision, until the final pitch of the World Series. It seemed every game I was on edge of my seat living and dying between each at-bat. And with an epic ending to the NL Pennant, I remember going crazy after Adam Wainwright struck out Carlos Beltran with the bases loaded in the bottom of the ninth. It was a roller coaster ride throughout the entire World Series, but it all came to a satisfying ending as Adam Wainwright once again struck out the final batter to win the World Series.
Micheal Jackson's Death (2009): When I learned about Micheal Jackson's death it really confused me. I knew that Micheal Jackson wasn't that old, but he was dead. I cant remember exactly where or when I first learned about it, but what I do remember is that for the next month, the investigation and coverage of his death was all over the news. I never really listened to his music all that much, but I knew a few of his really popular songs. So his death really didn't hit as hard with me then it did with other people.
