Rachel is 17. She is very artistic. Looking at her writing, even if it's just doodling, is like looking at art. She has a strong interest in current issues and follows several political shows to keep up. She says she wants to be an ambassador in Russia some day. She has a beautiful soprano voice, but can sing alto just as well. Rachel takes forever to make decisions. She wants to see/try on/know all her options first. It drives me crazy to go shopping with her, but I know that when she does make a decision...she put a lot of thought into it.
