The No Hate Tour was welcomed by our ASB to be part of our recent assembly on April 4, 2024. The No Hate Tour is a program that shares awareness regarding bullying and various tools to prevent it for students. They put on a one of a kind experience at RHS by performing complex and entertaining tricks on bikes, along with motivational speeches to all students.

The assembly was remarkably enjoyable by many students. Sheila Magana, who is a sophomore, gained great pleasure from everything the No Hate Tour had to offer. Like Lucy Cave, who is also a sophomore, enjoyed the bike tricks they performed. Lucy mentions, “The bike tricks were super awesome and I got my shoe signed!!¨ She certainly showed that this recent assembly is an unforgettable memory. She also enjoyed the relatable topics they discussed about the two kinds of bullying. Sal Hollins, who is a sophomore as well, enjoyed listening to the life stories of the riders. Her favorite stunt was from Koji Kraft. Sal explains, “The flip Koji did was like a circle twice.¨ While Lucy’s favorite stunt was performed by Matt Mecher. She says, ¨When Matt Mecher flipped over those marines because it was lowkey nerve-wracking, but so so cool!!¨ This stunt from Matt was undeniably dangerous and one of the special stunts performed that took all of the students’ attention. It challenged him to flip over two marines without getting anyone hurt. Stunningly, the stunt from Matt was very successful.

All three sophomores would like to give thanks to the No Hate Tour. Sheila Magana shares, ¨Thank you for coming to Renton High School, it was an amazing experience.¨ Both Sal and Lucy can agree with Sheila that the tour was impressive and surely an assembly to love. Sheila´s biggest takeaway from their motivational speeches was ¨We shouldn´t let people’s judgment get to us, instead we should ignore it and keep going.¨ There will always be someone who is going to judge you, but the best thing to do is to focus on what you know is best for you. And like Sal mentions, ¨You´re better than your haters.¨ Why listen to the people who discourage you when you can instead listen to the trusted people who want to support you?
