Cara was a junior at Fairfax. From the few times I talked to her I could tell she had a very outgoing personality that shined onto others. No one from the outside would have expected that she was in a bad place. I definitely didn't. To me, she seemed happy. She seemed adventerous. From the pictures she posted with her cross country team, it looked like she was having the time of her life making memories as much as possible. But I guess it's a lot easier to disguise you're inner thoughts than most people think.
I only met Cara because she was a fellow FCA leader last school year. I remember she would always try to get people to join in on the games. She would greet people into the room so that they would feel welcomed. I appreciated that. She was a great leader of Christ and I admired her. I just wish that I had got to known her better. Seeing as how much people miss her, just shows how extraordinary of a person she must have been. I'm sure it would have been a pleasure to be friends with her.
I think that hardest part is, how much she will be missed. Friends and family are in so much pain and devastation. It hurts my own heart. Even as a person who didn't know her that well, I still feel the after math. I just want to wish those who were most affected my gratitude and respect. Especially her cross country team and family. No one really deserves to go through such tough times. But it's from those tough times we grow as people, and grow closer together. This morning, the moment of silence in the commons is an example of growing closer together. Almost everyone in our school wore blue in rememberance of Cara, and we had a moment of silence together as a rebel family. It was a beautiful moment we all shared together. It will definitely be stamped into my mind forever.
Although it's a tragedy, it's comforting thinking that Cara will be up in heaven now, watching over us as we continue living our lives. It's bitter, but she's in a better place. A heaven without sorrow or any pain. She will be forever happy, and showered with God's eternal love. That's the one thing that keeps me going after all of this.
So I would like to thank Cara for leaving such a positive impact on our school and community. It's amazing how you brought us all together. Rest in peace, we will never forget you.
