As I write this, it is the 8th anniversary of the Columbine High School massacre. On April 20, 1999, 18-year-old Eric Harris and 17-year-old Dylan Klebold carried out the worst high school shooting in American history, killing 12 classmates and one teacher, and wounding 24 others before committing suicide.
Since the Columbine massacre, school systems around the county have worked to prevent futher school violence, but sadly Columbine was not the last of deadly school shootings thus far, as proven by the rampage at Virginia Tech last Monday.
I'm writing this blog post to show my respect for the lives lost both at Columbine and at Virginia Tech, and you can do the same by posting below.
While you're at it, be sure to check out this website: Rachel's Challenge
This site is dedicated to the Columbine victim Rachel Joy Scott, who was singled out on the day of the shooting for being Christian. Christian or not, you should take a look at the site and learn more about Rachel and her message of peace.
