Ignore The Awful Times, And Concentrate On The Good Ones

Another great story from a high school kid, when the towers were attacked, and when he joined the Marines and went to war in the Middle East.

Peanut butter M&Ms made math class a little less like torture. School was abuzz with activity. Kids bustling thru the halls, high school gossip and girls chirping about cheer practice. Two boys blew past me in the hallway. As I entered the school store, they rushed in through the far door and ran straight up to the counter where a clerk stood. They said something in a panic, but I couldn’t hear it and didn’t really care. The clerk urgently headed straight for the TV.
