...ever run for office. I was at P.S. 234, a school four blocks north of the World Trade Center when I saw the first plane hit. The building burst into flames. It seemed unreal, like I was watching a horror movie. I had started the day campaigning, but I wound up the day helping to evacuate the children.

Carla Valenzuela, 18, who graduated in the spring from Martin Luther King Academic Magnet school in Nashville, Tenn., applied to 13 schools--and wound up picking her last choice. She turned down Amherst, Wellesley and Dartmouth in favor of the University of Maryland, Baltimore County. Part of the draw was being near a big city; part was the offer of a Meyerhoff scholarship, a prestigious, four-year grant for talented high school students studying...
