Rachel's Challenge


    Hello out there this is your magical fairy godmother here and the topic today is... Rachel's Challenge. It is a phenominal thing to be apart of. Rachel Scott,  the girl that was killed in the massacre, at Columbine High School wanted  to show compassion and  start a chained reaction with people all over the world little did she know it is happening now! It is so sad that it has to be delivered in this way with her not here to help but she is in the hearts of those that is touches, and it is touching and changing a lot of schools!  People all over the world are joining and taking part in Rachel's Challenge. She is slowly changing the world!

 
     A way that I can get involved with Rachel's Challenge is by accepting the challenge. By accepting the challenge I would care for people just as Rachel did for her fellow peers. All of the love and compassion that she showed to others was so amazing. I wish that I could have met here before she passed. Another way that I can be a part of Rachel's Challenge is to tell other people about it. And tell my friend that they need to tell their fellow peers about it and they could spread their love and compassion. I am ready for the challenge!

                          


   On April 20, 1999 in Littleton, Colorado. Rachel Scott was killed at Columbine High School. Two seniors, Dylan Kelbold and Eric Harris walked into school that day, planning to kill everyone. It was the middle of the school day when they decided to go on with their plan. They had guns, knives, bombs. They stated outside where Rachel was having lunch with a friend. She was shot four times and died instantly her friend survived. The boys took over the school shoot anyone in their way. A total of 13 people died that day 12 students and 1 teacher! It was a very tragic day. 

   There are all kinds of different ways that you can get involved with Rachel’s Challenge! One way is start being friends with the person that you know that is bullied at your school. Show them that you do want to be their friend and hat you do not feel sorry for them because you have friends and they do not. Another way would be to start a chain of kindness! You would be amazed at how many people actually get involved with the chain of kindness! The last ways that I have for you is study the challenge and ask your schools leader is they would check into bringing Rachel’s Challenge to your school.

   I am very excited because Rachel’s Challenge is coming to our school and I know that there will be a lot of changes in kindness here! I am already trying to be kind to those that do not have friends and the ones that I used to be friends with and I am not anymore. It of course is not going to happen overnight but I know that there will be a change in the schools all over the country. It is very sad that I girl had to get shot and die for people to realize that we need to treat people the same. Yes, I do think that is she was still alive that she could have still made a difference.

  1. The picture at the end is so true. Some people might find it humorous, but I find it sad because it's true. I liked that you put it in your post. I also enjoyed reading your post.
