"I Accept Rachel's Challenge"

The seventeen year old, Rachel Scott, died on April 20th 1999 at Columbine High School while eating lunch with her friend. Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, the two highschool gunmen, killed 12 peers and one teacher. If there bombs had worked they would have killed over 500 innocent kids and teachers. 

Rachel, however, wrote an essay a while before the shooting. Thsi is one of the sentences she wrote. 

"I have this theory that if one person can go out of their way to show compassion than it will start a chain reaction of the same." - Rachel Joy Scott

This also means that if you do one thing nice to someone they'll do it someone else, and it will keep going on like a chain.

At school we had a little speech saying what Rachels challenge was. I learned a lot about kindness and me. Me, because I  never knew what kind of person I was. Nice, mean, angry, dumb, or stupid. I learned that angers just takes lives, such as Eric and Dylan, and what they were going through when they were bullied. So why don't we start doing the right thing for everyone, and us. It may just start a chain reaction.

Now, Rachels challenge is do all these things.

1. Kind words and actions
2. Don't be prejudice.
3. Start a chain reaction
4. Have a influence
5. Dare to Dream, set new goals and keep a journal.

With all these things you can bve a kind person. We all know there is a nice, sweet person down deep inside waiting to be unleashed. So just let go and wait until it makes other people see your true beauty. Let's see  what we can do. "We accept Rachel's Challenge!
