Lately I’ve been addicted to the GivesMeHope website and I thought I’d right about someone who gave me hope.
Rachel, my best buddy from last year, is mentally and physically disabled. She walked with a limp but never let it stop her. She placed first place in the running competition part of the Special Olympics last year. The next day she brought in her gold medal to show me and wore it proudly all day. Rachel loved me unconditionally and always had a giant smile on her face and a loud "hi lizzie!" every morning I walked into school. Rachel gave me the strength to fight for people with disabilities, she gave me hope that someday everyone will see the true kindness and love that people like Rachel have.
