Rachel was selected to receive the 2007 scholarship to the Hugh O'Brian Youth Leadership Seminar. The seminar was held from May 31 - June 3 in Tallahassee, Fla. The seminar provides leadership skills to sophomore students across the country. Rachel received this award on the merits of an essay based on leadership. Santa Rosa Woman's Club sponsored Rachel and the award was presented by Shari Fulford, chairman of the HOBY committee. Rachel hopes to enter Duke University in the fall of 2008 and with her achievements she should be able to reach that goal.
