About

If you've never heard of the Rachel's Challenge I guess it means you haven't had any infected schools around. Well I'm joking, "infected" makes it sound like a bad thing but it isn't. Rachel's Challenge is about the first victim of the Columbine shooting of April 1999.

This girl, Rachel Scott, was very nice and her parents didn't want her to have died in vain. Some even say that she had little predictions of Columbine, but I'd rather not believe that and stick to the important stuff. Anyways, the Challenge is a list of things that Rachel used to believe in.

Why should we care? 

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


It's true. Why should we care about the beliefs of some girl who was shot? Well she was really well-liked. I don't just mean she was popular, she had a really good life and was well-liked because of her niceness. The Challenge is really a way of getting us to be nice to each other again.

The Message 

I was actually given a little glossy index card with all of the challenges. It's meant to remind us of the little things that matter.

    I did not go 2 rachels school but, when I seen this movie I thought this was really nice what she did and did not care if the person was new,fat,skinny,wite or black. And i'm going 2 start what she said in the journal...but I felt really sad of rachel but, I felt mad 2 because what 2 guys did. I think everybody should do it. If people did not wach it then they can make a huge diffrients. But I go 2 martinsburg wv high school and i'm in 10th. I don't care people make fun of me....I just feel that way. I sopport rachel joy scott. :-)
