Rachel's Challenge


     I am sorry but I love Facebook. I saw on a couple people's statuses, " I completed Rachel's Challenge" or something along those lines. I had no clue what it meant so I looked it up and did some research.
     Rachel Scott was the first victim of the Columbine Shooting. It was the fourth-deadliest school shooting in history. Yet, one month before Rachel was shot, she wrote the two page My Ethics, My Codes of Life.
     What really sparked my interest the most was how she said in her journal, "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."

     I think this is a good statement to live by. I mean just think about it realistically. If you say one nice thing to someone, you will make them happy and they will feel compelled to be kind to someone else. At the very least, it can't hurt to say something nice to someone.
     I have to say thank you to all who read this. Even if its only a few of you, I am still thankful you take the time to read my thoughts and what I have to say.
