Rachel's Challenge

[MadisonCrossing]

Today in my Advisory class we watched a video about the shooting at Columbine High School in Colorado on April 20th, 1999. (I wasn't born then, so this was sad news to me. But I'm sure there's those of you who know about it.)
Anyway, for those of you who don't know the story, here is a link to the story:

If the link does not work, please let me know or you can try typing it in the search bar. Thanks!

Anyway, Rachel Scott was a strong, loved, and caring person, and we miss her very much. ;"( The morning before she died, Rachel drew her last picture of eyes crying 13 tears, the number of people who died, and the tears were turning to blood. According to her friends, Rachel always knew she would die young, but she hoped to create an influence on many people. And she has.
I don't remember what the video was called, so sorry about that, but Rachel and the other victims have touched my heart in so many ways. I am not a very emotional person, but I cried after I heard Rachel's story. I hope she has made an influence on many people today. Rachel was not just a person; she was an angel.
So today, take Rachel's Challenge and compliment at least 2 people. Rachel belived that compassion can go farther than we ever knew, so why not take her challenge and make someone's day?

"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. People will never know how far a little kindness can go."

Basically a movie about your

I COMPLIMENTED MY TEDDY BEAR AND MY MUM. WHERE IS MY REWARD. D:

 

[Stevey Queen]

I complimented two people and it finally got my lover to talk to me again.

 

[PapaNer]

I bought the three wolf moon shirt and it cured my cancer.

 

[EpicGamer12]

I didn't compliment anyone and my life is still amazing!

I find another thing that is sad is that there are thousands of children dying all across the world right now and we don't even care.

 

[MadisonCrossing]

Yes, even though that is true, I care myself. There are children dying of famine in Africa, and of many things I can't name, but a lot of people don't think about it because most of the worst stuff is on the news. I really hope to help famine, though, and it's sad to say that there ARE people in this world that do not care about disease, famine, etc.

It's amazing how easily we can make a change and how we seldom change anything.

If as much money was put into people's welfare in these countries as it does into weapons, they'd be so well off it would be unbelieveable! It's horrible to imagine a society like that where the money is so misdirected
