On wensday the students at my school and even those of us on staff were at an assymbly for a movement called Rachel's Challange which you can go here to find out who rachel is and find out more about the challange which was for students to see past prejudice ie a pre judgment of someone because their different but to actually get to know someone and to go the 2nd mile for people we dont know its easy for all of us to do it for people we do know but its harder when its a stranger and her challange also was to make sure to do or show kindness to everyone you come a cross.
I love this challange and am taking it to heart i have always tried my best to do this and ill be the first to admit im not always the best at it and there times i dont want to or feel i do more than my fair share and i have made judgments of people but this really touched me in such a way i want issue you the challange to look past your prejudgement of someone because you dont agree with on a political stants or about reglion, or faith or may be you dont like someone because of their disability or race or their size being to big or too small color hair or the fact that they have tattoos may be you judged someone for getting a divorce or because they had a child out of wed lock but what you more than likely dont know is the why someone thinks the way they do or why they believe what they believe or why they have a disability or why they are so big or small or why they had a child out of wed lock or had a divorce and judging them can come making fun of them to their face or behind their back or even gossiping about them or listening to the gossip with out finding out the truth you have no idea what that person(s) is going through or how they feel but i urge to not only see past the judgement but to talk to them you never ever know it could change their life who knows it could change your own life and by doing this not only could possibly make a new friend but you could see things from others points of view and learn and grow but also and possible the most imporant thing of all you could see their soul and see what kind of person they really are and who knows you may have planted a seed of kindness in them and in the world..........
the question is do you accept the challange?
