Growing up in a rural area of Wisconsin, I attended school in a one-room schoolhouse with students from 1st through 8th grade. I was in the 2nd grade and I remember our teacher crying in front of all of us saying, "the President was shot." We were dismissed from class and went to our respective homes where we watched the television for hours. Being so young, it was hard for me to realize what a tragedy this was for our wonderful nation. My parents sat us down and explained what happened. My little heart went out for the Kennedy family and our country.
