About
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

in reply to Miranda The boys did not know Rachel, they simply killed whoever had religious beliefs or was of a different race. They were depressed, having grown up without much attention and they kept themselves away from people purposely which did not help.
This program is the best step I've ever seen people take after such a tragedy. It will give people the chance to change their lives and also give people like Dylan and Eric (the murderers) friends, which is all people really need. Someone to trust that won't let them ever feel alone.
Thank you Rachel, for not just helping change me... but the world as a whole. You give humanity hope even now.

I happily accept Rachel's challenge! I heard about it at my chuch and decided to look it up. I will go to school tomorrow and I will be a new person! If I had to choose one way to die, I would want to go out glorifying God and standing up for what I believe in. Rachel's life has changed me in less than 24 hours. I love you Rachel!

at first i always thought why rachel had to die that day. then i realized that if she hadn't we wouldn't have got this message and we would not have heard the speakers tell us about her story. God had his reason for taking rachel and we have now experienced it. think about the killers, they were just normal highschool boys that were pushed around and bullied (trust me i did lots of research after i heard th story), soon enough, if they didnt do this disaster Rachel would have probably approached them and saved many innocent peoples lives. but she didnt and she is now with God and many other angels and innocent columbine students. if she didnt die we would not be here saying these words. I miss you Rachel and i luv you!
