Rachel's Challenge!

    What is Rachel's Challenge and why is it important? Rachel's Challenge is popular in most school and it's still becoming more popular in all around the United States schools.Rachel's Challenge is a program that involve teachers, students of all ages and parents.That help bulling and violence in school stop and make schools a better educational place.Rachel's Challenge is important because it helps student become more mature in tolerance, stopping bullying, and positive actions that promote more respect, and showing more kindness toward other people.
    How to get involved?One way that the students can get involve in Rachel's Challenge is by making a banner at school.Let student sign the banner if they are ready to accept the challenge.To be able to change their ways and do the right thing.When the all the students sign the banner hang it up somewhere that everyone can see it.
 Other way a person can get involved in Rachel's Challenge by doing something that can influence someone in a good way.For example doing something good for your community by picking up any trash that people leave and can hurt the environment.Sometimes when other people see you and your friend doing something good.That can influence them to do the something and help out.They will start helping out in their communities as well.
   Another way that a person can get involved is by just doing something that inspires kindness and it may even  take some courage as well.Everyone can challenge themselves to do a chain reaction just like Rachel said.''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.People will never know how far a little kindness can go.''

Life Mottos!

   What is life motto? In my opinion a life motto is something that a person set their mind on and make an effort to achieve that goal. Its also a way that a person lives by. I have 3 life motto I live by,one of then is "live life to the fullest even if everything and everyone is against you." This motto mean a lot to me and I live by it every day. Just like it say a person shouldn't stop living just because life is hard on you,and it is not going the way you what. I try to go by the motto even though it hard sometimes and I just feel like giving up.
    My second life motto is "Forgive and Forget."For a lot of people it's hard to live by this motto because it hard to forget that person that hurt you and especially forgive them. I sometimes forget that motto that I set for myself. Then I remind myself that it useless to stay mad at them that happened in the past.If I continue to live with that hatred in side my heart then that same hatred won't let me live life to the fullest.
    My Third life motto is "Don't die with regret." This one is special to me as well as the other two. Don't die with regret, live life and do everything that you what to do. Don't do something that you will regret all your life and even after death. To me living in regret is the same as not finishing my chores in time. Nobody knows when they are going to die so i try to live and do everything that I always wanted while I'm still here with my family and friend that i care so much especially my best friend.

Character!

 What does character mean to you? Well for me it means that a person would do as they are told and won't argue back with that person that told you to do so. For example if your teacher says to clean something but you know you didn't do it. Even so you clean up the mess for that teacher. Its hard to develop good character because of all the evil there is in this world. Developing good character takes time and sometime people won't show good character because their friends are there and you don't what them to see that side of you because it is embarrassing.
   Good character is something good to have. It represents who you are in the inside and outside. How a person act good, they able to help someone without having to get something in return. It doesn't matter what other people think about because you have good character and they don't. Having good character can get you far in life. That what character is for me " do something good without asking anything in return.

Forgiveness!

 Is it healthy to forgive? In my opinion it is healthy not just to the person you forgiving but it is healthy for oneself. It can bring peace to your heart and soul. If you can't forgive that person that did bad to you then how can you expect someone to forgive you. Just like the bible say in Matthew 6:15: but if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. Not being able to forgive a person can sometime become a grudge. A grudge is not a good thing to have at all in your life. When a person as a grudge it can become something more and that person would what to do something bad that they may regret later.
  Why should we forgive? It is a simple reason why one should for give a person. My reason is because Jesus forgive our sin and still does. Colossians 3:13:"as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive." Pretty much just forgive that person even though is hard to do.Be side you will feel better once you do that and god will forgive you to. Ask your self if your not going to forgive then why should Jesus forgive you for your sins?
