Rachels Challenge

Yesterday we when to an assembley in the high school gym. The assembley was about a school with 2 kids that had guns and they were shooting people. They shot 12 students andn 1 teacher. It was sad because the first girl shot was a girl named Rachel Joy Scott. It was April 20, 1999, and that day she drew in her diary, a pair of eyes crying on a rose. Then the tears turned into blood. Her father counted the blood drops and he counted 13. The number of poeple who died at that school. It was a sad story to hear. Also this whole time Rachel knew she was going to die young. She even wrote that in her diary. She knew that she wasnt going to live long and she knew she was gonna die in the year 1999. It was a touching story about Rachel. I feel bad for her parents and for her friends that knew her. All Rachel wanted was kindess. She wanted to touch the world and she did. Rachel touched a lot of hearts around the world.
