Rachel Cook '13 Recruiting Profile

 I have thoroughly enjoyed the past eleven years of basketball and do hope to have the opportunity to play in college. Since I was six years old, basketball has been a staple in my life.   Basketball not only pushed me to understand the strategic play of the game, but also kept my body in shape and my mind sharp.   As the competition grew stronger, so did my passion for this game.  Although my love for basketball is great, I stand true to who I am, a STUDENT-athlete. I am a student first and an athlete second.  I take school and my grades very seriously.   My dream is  to use basketball as a pathway to receive a tremendous education from a top university that will prepare me for medical school.  I had the privilege to watch my father take care of patients with and without insurance all of my life.  I am so proud that he gave back to our community by treating patients that did not have traditional access to medical care because they did not have insurance.  That is my ultimate dream to give back to those in need by providing qualaity medical care and thereby changing lives!
