Rachel's Challenge, a True hero

Postby InsaneAstroBoyLover » 14 years ago

Rachels Challenge, it one of the saddest stories i've heard in a long time.
She was the First person shot in a shooting at Columbine High School, April 20, 1999. Her goal (much like Astros) was to make the world a nicer, more peaceful place.

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. - Rachel Scott


Her acts of kindness and compassion coupled with the contents of her six diaries have become the foundation for one of the most life-changing school programs in America.

The Program came to my school today to raise awareness of bullying, and peer pressure. They told two amazing stories of Rachel, the first one, was the sweetest, most nicest thing i've ever heard.

A boy(I dont know his name, Derp :d oh :) who was picked on every day, decided he was going to kill himself. When Rachel saw he was being picked on, she stood up to his bullies and told them to back off. Until her death, they were amazing friends.

The second story, again, very sweet, A new girl, who everyone thought was strange, sat down at an empty lunch table, alone. When Rachel noticed the lonley girl at the empty lunch table, she convinced her friends to go sit with her. Just like the first story, Best friends Till death.

(just in case you cant read it, it says "These hands belong to Rachel Joy Scott and will someday touch millions of peoples hearts." :cry: I know right?!)
She drew this on the back of her dresser in her room.

I just thought if a Program were promoted on here, it should be Rachels Challenge. Im asking for your support! Link to her website -->http://www.rachelschallenge.org/

Wow, that is MY kind of person!!! So horrible she was taken from us, but at least her death helps saves other lives and makes the world a better place, thanks to people around her sharing her story and beliefs. Thanks for posting this!
