Columbine 25 Years Later: 'We've seen a lot of good come from her life,' reflects father of victim

I'm Daryl Scott and my daughter Rachel was the first one to be killed at Coline then this is a picture of Rachel one of our favorite pictures of her I think it just encapsulates her her Essence I mean it's it's her beauty both outward and inward you can see the radiance in her eyes and the tilt of her head D indicating the mischievous she was very mischievous but but never in a cruel way always in a kind way Rachel had a deep deep faith that wasn't religious it was unique didn't fit any denomination or any church Creed it was basically the very core of what the Bible teaches which is do unto others as you would have them do unto you the Golden Rule she related to everyone she didn't always agree it doesn't didn't matter to her what they looked like what their belief system was what their sexual preference was what their clothing was like none of that mattered to her she wrote and she said don't look at the outward appearance peer deep into the living she wrote these words peer deep into the living soul and you will see things that you won't see on the outside looking back it seems like it only happened yesterday in some some ways and seems like two lifetimes ago in some ways but uh we've seen a lot of good come from her life so all of our challenges in Rachel's Challenge begin with a story and they end with a positive direction not a negative we don't say don't bully we don't say don't treat people badly it's always a focus on what we can do to children in school today they don't even remember Coline they weren't alive when it happened so Coline is history Rachel's story is more present day and for us it's a joy to see that her life continues to impact others
