Rachael Age 13
Age 13 was a bit of a different year for Rachael, as the onset of the pandemic led to doing school work from home and limited activities outside with friends and family. Before the pandemic, Rachael did get to have some fun, as she participated in her second year of cheerleading for Morton Middle School and was a captain of the squad. She also got to compete on a travel basketball team with some of her friends from Morton.
Under special precautions, Rachael was able to continue dancing, though her team did not enter any competitions. There was a virtual recital though and in addition to her taking part in her trio group performances, Rachael performed a solo routine to Christina Aguilera's "Beautiful People". See a video of her performance below.
There was some fun to be had in the summer. Looking for healthy outdoor activities, Rachael was able to twice go camping in New Hampshire. Once was with her parents and her Aunt Candy and the other with her parents and best buddie Nathan.
In the fall of 2020, Rachael got the opportunity to play soccer for Durfee High School, where she plans to attend in the future. It was a nice chance to get an early start to her high school soccer career. She would also get a chance to compete for the Durfee diving team, which turned out great.

Thanks to the pandemic, Rachael was unable to practice in the studio and never got to compete her routine. Her dance school was able to put on a virtual recital though. Here Rachael dances her 2020 solo routine in studio to Christina Aguilera's "Beautiful People".
