Yesterday ...

Yesterday we watched the Rachel's Challenge's presentation at school. It was very moving, almost everyone cried. It was about a young girl who was writing a journal about changing the world. She was part of the worst high school shooting in america. She was the first one killed in Cullenbine. She was secretly writing diaries about a chain reaction of kindness to stop bullying. If one person does something nice to you, you also want to do something nice to a different person to start a chain reaction of kindness. This girl was remembered for lots of wonderful things and the people who chose to do this terrible act killed her on Hitler's birthday because they were influenced by Hitler.
