My
name is Rachel. I was born on September 28, 1987 in good'ole Neenah Wisconsin.
I have lived in Wisconsin my whole life and have taken Japanese classes since
kindergarten. I am currently taking a CAPP Japanese class through UW-Oshkosh.
I went to Japan last summer. It was so much fun. I really enjoyed going to Tokyo
and Hiroshima.
      My family consists of my mom, dad, and younger brother Luke. 
                      My mom loves the color orange and has an orange Mini-Cooper. 
                      It is pretty cool because no one else has one. My dad and 
                      I get along really good. He is the person I can always turn 
                      to. My little brother Luke can be very annoying. He is fourteen 
                      and thinks it is cool to get on my nerves. But I still love 
                      him. I love my family and like to spend time with them. 
                      
      I attended Clovis Grove Elementary School in Menasha Wisconsin 
                      from kindergarten to fifth grade. It was here that I started 
                      taking Japanese. I enjoyed Japanese class very much because 
                      we always got to sing songs and make origami. I continued 
                      studying Japanese through middle school and am still taking 
                      it in high school where I am now getting college credit 
                      for my work. I went to Japan last summer. It was so much 
                      fun. I really enjoyed going to Hiroshima and to Peace Park 
                      Museum. I would love to go back to Japan and visit someday.
      I want to attend college after I graduate and become a medical 
                      researcher or forensic scientist. I really enjoy school. 
                      Biology and science classes are my favorite. I want to get 
                      into some work with biology when I grow up. I am not sure 
                      what exactly I want to do. But I still have some time so 
                      I am not in that much of a hurry.
      I love hanging out with my friends. My best friend Erin 
                      and I love to do random things. Since there isn't much to 
                      do in good'ole Menasha, we have to be creative. We like 
                      to go to Gamblers games and make things for our boyfriends. 
                      I love hanging out with Brent (my boyfriend), Erin, and 
                      Fue (Erin's boyfriend). We like to go to movies and go to 
                      Gambler's hockey games. We also like to have game nights. 
                      We usually have one once a month and they are so much fun. 
                      We all get together at my house and then we play a board 
                      game. We usually play Taboo or Gestures. It is a lot of 
                      fun. They are my best friends in the whole world and I love 
                      to hang out with them.
      Now that you know little bit about me, I hope my pictures 
                      make more sense and I hope you understand what life is like 
     here in good 'ole Menasha.
