It was always a special time when the TV was rolled into our classroom. We were watching the space shuttle Challenger launch on live television with a females teacher. I remember being very excited because I hadn't ever seen a launch and a female was aboard. I remember her waving and her bright smile as she walked in the shuttle. When Challenger burst into flames, I remember thinking how can I keep everyone around me safe.As an adult I still focus on the safety and well-being of others.
