Rachael Beelner is the daughter of Richard and Patricia Beelner. Rachael has seven siblings who include, Kayla, David, Hunter, Ryan, Josh, Jacob, and Abby. Throughout her high school career, Rachael has been involved in track for four years, speech for two years, NHS for one year, choir for three years, archery for three years, 4-H for seven years, and FFA for four years. Rachael has been awarded a letter in track, choir, and archery.
During her high school years, Rachael has volunteered at Building Blocks and the Le Mars Art Center during her freshman and sophomore years. Rachael’s favorite memories throughout high school were going on the FFA trip and powderpuff football at homecoming.
During her free time, Rachael likes to play basketball and go on walks with friends. Rachael’s favorite T.V. show is “Ginny and Georgia’’ on Netflix and her favorite song is “Young Forever” by Jay-Z. Rachael’s favorite school lunches to devour are crispitos and totchos, although Rachael also loves to go out to Casey’s and grab a bite of pizza.
Rachael’s advice for underclassmen is to try new things, be involved, and to stay on top of homework. Her greatest fears are spiders and heights. Her biggest pet peeve is when people do not drive the speed limit; they drive slower. Rachael’s favorite year was her sophomore year because she was able to travel and do things without the virus affecting her plans.
Rachael would like to be remembered as someone who always wants to have a good time and who tries to cheer people up. Rachael’s greatest accomplishment in high school was being president of the local FFA for two years and being rated 24th in the nation for archery. In life, Rachael would love to accomplish having a family, to be successful in her personal and business life, and to just have fun living. Next year, Rachael plans on attending NCC in Sheldon and plans to major in agronomy.
