compassion




This program is coming to our schools. I am hoping that Macy gets picked to participate.
It is a very powerful program which deals with bullies. Bullying is a major problem in schools and even workplaces.
I have witnessed both lately. This is about spreading kindness and compassion to others. I think it is a big concern of Macy's school lately and on the minds of the faculty because a classmate of Macy's brought a loaded gun to school last year.

Well, that brought tears to my eyes. I live only a few miles from where the Columbine killings occurred. I felt that there was such a need for compassion at that time - for the families of those who were shot as well as for the families of those who did the shooting. Unfortunately, there was very little compassion for the latter group. It was good to hear the window of forgiveness open in this video. Rachel was correct that her life would make a huge impact on the world. We never know, do we? I'm so glad that this program will be at your daughter's school and many others!
