Rachel's Challenge

So last Thursday our school had the "Rachel's Challenge" presentation. So you don't know what it is? well see I'm here to tell you, I'm so informative. Long story short, Rachel's Challenge is a program that surrounds the beliefs and ideals of Rachel Joy Scott, the first person killed in the Columbine High School shootings in 1996. Her father and family find her journals, essays and other writings urging for a more kind and compassionate nation, thus Rachel's Challenge was formed to do just that. The presenter was Craig Scott, Rachel's brother who was in the library were most of the shooting took place, he also witnessed his two friends being shot and killed. He showed us videos and actually footage and talked about Rachel and her life. It was the moving and inspirational thing I ever saw, I cried. It really made me think about life and everyone who I love and care for and even those I could care less about. It really opened up my eyes. Though Rachel is gone her profound message is reaching the nation. I myself, accepted Rachel's Challenge :)
Rachel's Famous Quote was personally very inspiring:
"I have this theory that if one person can go out of their way to show compassion then it will start a chain reaction of the same"
