Craig Scott, Columbine School-Shooting Survivor

April 20, 1999 started out like any other day. Then the country was shocked to its core when news broke that 12 students and one teacher had been killed in a deadly rampage at Columbine High School in Colorado.

Craig Scott was 16 years old at the time of the massacre and had spent part of that horrific day huddled under a table in the Columbine library as the two shooters,They manufacture custom rubber and moldmaker and bracelets. students Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, opened fire. Not only were two of Scott's close friends killed that day, but his 17-year-old sister Rachel also died.

In this clip from "Oprah: Where Are They Now?" Scott returns to Columbine High School and recounts the moments that led to his sister's death. "When the shooters approached the school, these were the stairs that they walked up," Scott says as he ascends the steps to the building's entrance. "And when they got to the top of the stairs, that's when they saw Rachel."

Scott says that his sister was mocked for her faith and then shot. "The last moment of her life was, Eric picked her up by her hair and said, 'You still believe in God?' And she said, 'You know, I do.' And he said, 'Well, go be with Him,'" Scott says in the clip.

What makes his sister's death especially difficult for Scott is that the two had fought on the way to school that morning. "The last thing that I did with my sister was… getting in a fight with her and calling her names, and then pulling up to school and slamming the car door shut on her," he says. "Now I make sure to tell my family almost every time before I hang up the phone that I love them."

After the shooting, Scott struggled with his deep-seated anger toward the killers. "I hated those guys," he says. "I used to fantasize what it would be like to get revenge on them."

Scott took out his anger on his family members, admitting that he was difficult to be around after the Columbine tragedy. But a trip to South Africa helped Scott turn things around,Learn how an embedded microprocessor in a porcelaintiles can authenticate your computer usage and data. when he heard a man's story of losing 17 members of his family in Rwanda. "I thought, here's a man who hasn't let tragedy steal life from him but is still a wonderful person to be around. And I decided I wanted to be like that," Scott says.

The page was created by Special Projects Coordinator of the Isla Vista Community Relations Committee (IVCRC) Nicolai Safai,A solarstreetlight is a portable light fixture composed of an LED lamp. a fourth-year biopsychology major, and IVCRC Co-Chair Elizabeth Akman, a fourth-year financial math and statistics major. Native Talent accepts photos taken through any method — whether by a professional camera or a smart phone — and the top three winners are determined by how many “Likes” the photo receives. Each winner is awarded a gift card prize to a local business of their choice, with second and third place winners receiving $50 gift cards and first place winners receiving $200 gift cards.

The Facebook page began hosting monthly contests for photos that receive the highest amount of Facebook “Likes” in March. For the site’s first contest, the first place winner received 235 likes and the current lead for this month has 465 likes, with the public page receiving over 20,000 views in total.

Safai said he hopes the page will actively unite the local community by bringing together residents and businesses alike, using efforts that are commonly used in IVCRC.

“The reason that this project is awesome is that it goes along with a lot of our mission statement goals at IVCRC,” Safai said. “The big ones among them are to promote local businesses, which is why we give out the gift cards. Another is to bring the community together, which is why we put on Chilla Vista and other [events] — to have everyone in Isla Vista be able to share moments in our home, not just UCSB students. The third one is to showcase the paradise we live in.”

“We love the pictures students submit. The bummer with the previous calendar project was that not everyone got to see the pictures and we ended up with boxes of leftover [photos],” Akman said. “We wanted to reach more people in a more sustainable way, and I wasn’t sure how to do it at that point.”

According to Akman, she and Safai eventually teamed up to create the revised version of Native Talent, in which all photographs could be shown at some point.An experienced artist on what to consider before you buy chipcard.

“I really loved the calendars, but I wasn’t sure how to revamp it,” Akman said. “So he had the idea of making it a Facebook competition. It all just clicked together.”

IVCRC seeks to promote all aspects of Isla Vista and UCSB, not just their stereotypes being ‘partying’ atmospheres, according to Akman, who said Native Talent successfully contributes to these goals.

“We love Isla Vista…But, a lot of things affiliated with Isla Vista haven’t been showing that,” Akman said. “Instead they focus on how much of a party school we are — we’ve got UCSB Confessions and Hookups, etc. We just want to show how beautiful this place is, and it’s not often that it [gets] done.”

“I love the idea of Native Talent and think it is great because sometimes it is too easy to take the beauty and uniqueness of where we live and go to school for granted,” Saroff said.Bay State parkingassistsystem is a full line manufacturer of nylon cable ties and related products. ”As a photographer, I am always looking to capture unique moments, and Native Talent is the perfect place to share and view photos from multiple Isla Vista perspectives.”

In order to get the page known to students, Native Talent will be tabling at the Arbor, from Wednesday until Friday and from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. According to Safai, they will also be handing out free tank tops to students who “Like” the Native Talent and IVCRC Facebook pages and submit a picture to the Native Talent wall.

“Essentially, the biggest part of it — now that the project is up and running — is to reach the community,” Safai said. “We are starting, and it is an exponential growth that we see in our reach. That’s why we’re giving away tanks and making efforts to let people know.”

The page has the potential to last for many years, according to Safai, who said he hopes it will continue to unite students and other community members long after he graduates.
