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.


Eliminate Prejudice by Looking For The Best In Others


Choose Positive Influences And Role Models in Life


Keep A Daily Journal or Diary


Look For Little Things That Make a Big Difference


Tell People How Much You Care About Them

This strikes close to home for me. I live in Highlands Ranch, CO and the Columbine tragedy
is still very fresh in my mind. Although I did not lose anyone directly, it was and is very painful. Thanks for creating this lens.

Thank you for starting this blog. If more of us would take Rachel's challenge, we would see a lot more peace in this world. Rachel's challenge wouldn't work, however, with Rachel's lord, Jesus Christ, for whom she was willing to die rather than deny her belief in Him.
