A man came to our school two days ago and talked to us about Rachel Joy Scott.
Rachel was a high schooler who wanted to change the world soooooo much, she wrote a paper on how to over come war and negative thinking. Well on day two boys when to her school in Colorado and started to open fire, well Rachel's brother was in the library and the killers entered there and started to say racist comments to his friend who was of color and the killers ended up shooting his friend. before this all happened Rachel and one of her friends were eating lunch out side when the killers came and they shot Rachel. Rachel was not an average girl she LOVED to write and she loved to write about making the world a better place total Rachel had about 5-6 diaries that she filled and the day she died she was just finishing one of the diaries and it was in her backpack which she had on when she was shot. The bullet(believe it or not) went though the book and struck the quote she wrote on it "I will not be labeled as average"(I don't know if that' s the real saying) She always told people that she was going to die young and she did. Also the day after she died a man called her father and told him about a dream he had about Rachel and he said that in the dream he could see tears and something coming out if the ground. Well that day Her father picked up her backpack and pulled out the book and looked at the last page and gasped she drew the picture at the top of this post ten minutes before she died.
I'll tell you right now during this showing everyone is almost in tears it was so touching and so emotional. At the end everyone signed the banner that said "I accept Rachel's Challenge" and that challenge was to start a chain reaction of kindness round and never, ever stop that.
