I think that the three most memorable newsworthy moments for me so far have been 9/11, the tsunami in Indonesia, and President Obama. I remember 9/11 very clearly. I was in third grade, and then all of the sudden our principle came over the intercom and told us about it, then we all watched it on tv and talked about it. I knew it was a big deal, but I didn't really understand. When I came home from school that day my mom came to the door in tears, and I asked her why she was crying and that was when I realized how big of deal it was. The tsunami in Indonesia stuck out to me because I didn't really think that stuff like that really happened. It was a big shock seeing the pictures and hearing the stories of the people. Lastly, it was a huge deal in the United States when Barrack Obama was elected and became the first black president, which I will always remember.
The three most memorable newsworthy moments for my step dad, Greg, are : 9/11, the assassination of JFK, he was six years old but he still remembers everything that happened that day, and the start of Desert Storm, because that was the first time you really got to see a war on tv.
