Treat people the way you want to be treated,\u2019\u201d special education teacher Colleen Burkhardt said, quoting one of sophomores Jeanette Rich\u2019s last journal entries before her passing on August 30, 2018. Rich made an impact on so many in the community: her friends, her Links, her teachers, and anyone else she got to speak to. \u201cShe was something special, like whoever she was around, even if she didn\u2019t know you, she would walk up to you with the biggest smile on her face and be like \u2018what\u2019s up girl? How are you today?\u2019 and she would compliment you on whatever you were wearing. She was an amazing person. She really was,\u201d senior Kristen Cabrera said. Having been a part of the LINKS program, junior Marissa Montague got to know Rich, but Montague didn\u2019t expect to be as impacted as she was. \u201cIt was sort of at first a professional relationship, but as I got to know her she became one of my best friends,\u201d Montague said. Many students could relate. Rich was known for being outgoing and kind to everyone. \u201cShe would always try to make you happy. Regardless if you just met five minutes ago or ten years ago, like that girl had been through so much bullying and everything, and the fact that she still got up every morning and tried to make everybody else happy without even knowing it. I want her to be known for that,\u201d Cabrera said. \u201cShe brightened up everybody\u2019s day,\u201d Cabrera said. At the dance between Winterfest and Prom, Jeanette had made the night memorable for students like Cabrera and sophomore Kylie Garcia- Farmer. \u201cIt was me and a couple of my friends that Jeanette didn\u2019t know, but she introduced herself to them. She didn\u2019t really care who it was, like she wanted to be friends with everybody. That was probably our funniest and one of the best memories that we had because that girl went nuts. She was dancing all types of craziness. That dance was kinda lame, but she made it so much better,\u201d Cabrera said. During the service, the prayer \u201cLittle Angels\u201d was printed on the funeral program and Garcia-Farmer got the chance to speak about her time with Rich. Garcia-Farmer and Rich were both a part of the special education program at the high school and became close friends instantly, so speaking at Rich\u2019s service was important for her. \u201cWhen I got up there, I looked up and I just felt somebody there, like she was there, and God was there. It was easy because I just spoke from my heart,\u201d Garcia-Farmer said. Rich was the type to be kind to everyone regardless of how they treated her. \u201cIf you said something to her that wasn\u2019t okay, she\u2019d let you know. She\u2019d go right up against those boys and say, \u201cGod don\u2019t like ugly!\u201d That\u2019s definitely a quote that she would always say,\u201d paraeducator Sally Meade said. It wasn\u2019t just the students that were affected by her death, it was also the adults that spent every day helping her during school. \u201cI knew at one point I just needed to go in my office and just cry. There are some things you just needed to do that day, but it\u2019s hard when you\u2019re with them [the students]. Some of these kids we see more than their parents, so you really get attached,\u201d paraeducator Jamie Buxton said. \u201cShe\u2019s a girl with a disability, and I want people to know that. Some people take that so wrong, and the thing is we\u2019re all humans, so just treat everybody with kindness and respect,\u201d Garcia-Farmer said. Teachers and friends included, Rich had an impact. \u201cI loved seeing the friendships that she had and that she wouldn\u2019t let anyone or anything put her down and so that really impacted me and how I live my life and saying \u2018be goofy, be out there, and don\u2019t let anybody put you down because you are beautiful the way you are,\u2019\u201d Burkhardt said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Taliyah Parker Rampages Holt HS 1st Place Division 2, Yearbook Verbal Personality Profile JUDGING CRITERIA Clear, relevant, engaging angle that makes story worthy of inclusion Solid lead that draws reader into story Meaningful student quotes that enrich story and reflect effective interviewing Evidence of adequate research Story goes beyond superficial coverage to give a [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":4686,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"image","meta":{"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[106,3,11],"tags":[175,21],"class_list":["post-4685","post","type-post","status-publish","format-image","has-post-thumbnail","category-personalityprofile-ybverbal","category-yb","category-ybverbal","tag-2019-20","tag-division2","post_format-post-format-image","entry"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"featured_image_src":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/acutabove.mipamsu.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Personality_Profile_2-1.jpg?resize=600%2C400&ssl=1","featured_image_src_square":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/acutabove.mipamsu.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Personality_Profile_2-1.jpg?resize=600%2C600&ssl=1","author_info":{"display_name":"Joel Beeker","author_link":"https:\/\/acutabove.mipamsu.org\/?author=9"},"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/acutabove.mipamsu.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Personality_Profile_2-1.jpg?fit=1320%2C1022&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p6K0n6-1dz","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/acutabove.mipamsu.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4685","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/acutabove.mipamsu.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/acutabove.mipamsu.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/acutabove.mipamsu.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/9"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/acutabove.mipamsu.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=4685"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/acutabove.mipamsu.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4685\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/acutabove.mipamsu.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/4686"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/acutabove.mipamsu.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=4685"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/acutabove.mipamsu.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=4685"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/acutabove.mipamsu.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=4685"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
