The Great Outdoors

Apart from food, the one thing my body craves is fresh air and the great outdoors. I’ve had fascinating experiences on my many trips into nature, and would love to share them on this blog.

Vision Statement

As someone who began working at a young age, I value hard work and going the extra mile. Growing up, my mother always taught me not to perform a job well because it was required, but for the satisfaction I get from doing it. This wisdom has followed me throughout my life, and as I search future businesses and organizations, my strong work ethic and ability to build strong relationships will be of value to future employers. I desire a career that challenges me and allows me to make and learn from my mistakes. I am always growing and learning.

About Me

Hi! I’m Rachael. If I said life is a bed of roses, I would be lying. Even though there are bad days in life, I choose to stay happy. I’ve learned that laughter really is the best medicine, and I sometimes overdose. This is the type of person I am - I try not to let things get too serious and love being silly. My friend in high school once told me I should be on Saturday Night Live. I’ll take that as a compliment…I think.

I mention the importance of living a positive life because I wasn’t always the most optimistic person. At a young age I suffered from some detrimental health issues. It was a very dark time in my life, but the feeling of overcoming something very difficult has caused me to have a better outlook on life, and I’ve actually started writing a book about my experiences. The hope is that I can get it published and help others struggling with my similar problems.

This brings me to writing. I love it! If I could have a career that revolves around writing, I’d be in Heaven. I’ve spent time writing and editing for a school newspaper, and been told by several people I have a talent for putting words on paper…or a computer screen. Writing for a travel magazine would be my dream job. My love for traveling plus writing would equal bliss. At this moment in time, I’m going to school and studying marketing and public relations, which I thoroughly enjoy. I hope to one day work for a public relations firm.

Throughout my working career I’ve been a certified nursing assistant, front desk agent, receptionist, editor, and writer. I’ve found my ability to connect and build relationships with people - and unwavering patience - have helped me in every position.

As I look to the future, I hope that I can continue to remain positive in almost all situations and achieve my goals. There is one shot at life, and I want to live it right.
