How old were you when JFK killed

[We People]

169. Same exactly with me & my birthday & grade, and we had a similar experience in class. We had just

come back from either lunch or recess and another student came into the room to tell us. I don't think our teacher had returned to the classroom yet.

I'll never forget waiting outside with other students for the bus and another 5th grader from another class was gleeful and rejoicing about it. I was totally shocked at his reaction, since everyone else was still sadly stunned. It was so disrespectful and I had never seen anyone celebrate the death of another person, especially of someone as important as our president.

It was one of the first few realizations I had experienced in my life that all human beings don't have the same values, they don't always react the same way, and that some persons may even hate the people that you admire or love. It seemed especially ugly that it was coming from a child, but I figured it was something he learned from his parents.
