Her name is Rachel Joy Scott. She was the first victim to be killed during the Columbine High School massacre in 1999, which claimed the lives of 12 students and a teacher, injuring many others as well.
While her death garnered attention from the media back then, it was her life that had inspired me. She is one of the very few people whom I admire – her struggles, doubts, hopes and dreams is just like any one of us. And yet she did her best in living out her Christian faith, a faith that changed the lives of many.
This was an essay had she written shortly before her death.
