Rachel's Challenge

At some time or another, we've all heard the phrase "Treat others the way you want to be treated". Some people choose to take it seriously, and others just brush it off. Well, today at school, we had an assembly called "Rachel's Challenge". Rachel's Challenge is an organization that was started by the father of the first victim in the Columbine High School shooting in 1999. Rachel Joy Scott was that victim. She lived a very ambitious life, and somehow knew that someday she would be an inspiration to many people. She was the definition of treating others the way you want to be treated.

Now, the organization has grown, and they give presentations to schools across the globe. The goal from Rachel's Challenge is to change how people treat each other, and realizing that a little kindness goes a long way. So today, you can choose to view this post as preachy, or take it to heart, and do something simply kind. You don't have to donate your life savings to charity, or anything like that. Any small random act of kindness will make a difference. Hold open a door for someone, or thank someone that you know who works very hard. 

Rachel Joy Scott said, "If one person can go out of their way to show compassion, then it will start a chain reaction of the same. People will never know how far a little kindness can go."
