21. (was Challenge Day worth it?)

In my mind, Challenge Day was definitely a success, at least among the people who went on Wednesday.  Even though it is a foregone conclusion that there will be people to whom Challenge Day meant nothing, I strill think that it did make a considerable impact overall.  The way it was set up really actually worked, and by the end of the day, I think that everyone had a better recognition of the circumstances of those around them. I believe that if there is ever bullying in our school, it often springs from a ignorance of the other person's feelings and personality.  Once people actually know each other on a real level, we are probably less likely to hurt each other.  The only people that didn't take anything away from this experience are the people who either didn't come or came wanting to not take anything away.  I think that Challenge Day was a good experience for our group, and while just like everything else we do, the effects will wear off, I think that this experience will stick in people's minds, and will probably impact our future at high school positively.
