Plenty of students had sat in this exact same seat that I sat in everyday. Listening to a teacher drone on about the importance of being able to apply your studies when you're older, constantly checking the clock and groaning when only 3 minutes had passed since the last time they'd checked. Silently wishing for time to hurry up. In most ways the students then and the students now are very similar. But let me tell you the huge difference between them and us. One of them wasn't murdered.
