An extremely soulful ginger. :)
Hello there. I'm Rachel, nice to meet you. :)
When people think of high school academics, they tend to think of competition. Who has the best test scores, attendance, transcripts, etc.? I'll be honest; I used to think this way too. But when I really got to thinking about it, I came to the conclusion that this can't possibly be the best thing for the world. Why should only a few select students become the ones that will help our earth grow? Shouldn't we spend more time helping one another than selfishly trying to become the very best of the best ourselves? Two heads are better than one, as they say.
A little background. I am currently a high school sophomore in Iowa, the most exciting place on earth...I enjoy sarcasm, as well as music, basketball, swimming, tennis, being a ginger, and of course, school. Learning is a passion of mine. Something I always tell myself is: "You can't possibly learn all there is to learn. But you might as well try."
I'm a person who tends to question a lot of things. I like to establish my own personal views on subjects rather than follow what others believe indiscriminately. I think that as I get older my opinions will become more structured and tailored to me. This is one of the reasons why I value knowledge so much, because it allows for personal exploration in this sense.
I want to travel the world. The farthest I've ever been from home was about 1,700 miles in Key West, Florida. I loved every minute of it, especially the drive down. Now I want to travel to the lands of my ancestors; specifically France, Germany, Ireland, Scotland, and England. But of course, I can't limit myself to those places. I'd love to visit Italy, Spain, South Africa, Australia, Japan, China, Mongolia, and many, many more. I need a career that would allow me to travel. Otherwise, I don't know if I could ever be happy.
I suppose my main message with this whole thingamajig is to live your life for others, and try ever so hard not to be ignorant. Ignorance is certainly not bliss.
Have any questions? Want to get to know me better? Need a llama in the mail by tomorrow??? Message me or comment on my media! I'll follow you :)
~Peace, Love, & Happiness~
*disclaimer* If I could, I would totally give you a llama. But I can't. Sorry. :(
