In an essay assigned in school Rachel wrote, “Compassion is the greatest form of love that humans have to offer…I have this theory that if one person can go out of their way to show compassion, then it will start a chain reaction of the same.” While she lived, Rachel strove to find the beauty in everyone and went out of her way to treat each person with respect.
