Rachel's Challenge

Recently, a program called Rachel's Challenge came and talked to my school. Rachel Joy Scott was the first person to get murdered in the Columbine school shooting on April 20, 1999. Rachel was a very kind, good person who always went out of her way to help others and make them feel better. She had this theory that if you're kind to one person, it could start a positive chain reaction of kindness. So after Rachel died, her family decided that they wouldn't just sit there and wallow in their pain and become bitter people. They decided to take her message to the next level, and start a program called Rachel's Challenge that challenges students across the world to do two simple things. Be. Kind. So pass on this message to your friends, and try to accomplish her challenges. So try it out, because in the end, everyone will benefit! :)
