Share it Please
Today, I am interviewing Rachel Greer. She's the author of Words of Inspiration From Your Own Kind. Here's a little bit about Rachel.

Rachel Greer was born in Milwaukeee, Wisconsin on October 25th, 1992.  In her teen years, she loved to recite Maya Angelou poems in the after school activity of Forensics. Her favorite poem to recite was, Phenomenal Woman by Maya Angelou. She loved the confidence Ms. Angelou had. Rachel strives everyday to be the phenomenal young woman that she is.
Rachel attended a suburban school in the state of Wisconsin. She managed to graduate 1 year early from high school and pushed on to college. She currently attends a technical school in her area with desires to earn a Associate’s Degree is Business Management. While being an freshman in college, she has the title of an Wisconsin Scholar.
Rachel is naturally ambitious, she looks for more ways to back up her mission and that’s building an empire before she dies. Rachel feels she has a purpose for being put on Earth and everyone she will touch in some way or form. Rachel enjoys working, shopping, school, and real guys. As she would say, “I’m a robot, but still a bit normal.” Rachel is a woman of her word, yet very dedicated to everything she’s involved in. In Rachel’s eyes, if you have faith and stay loyal; nothing’s impossible and that way you may reach for the stars. This young woman really believes that the world is hers, and you only lose if you choose. One thing that makes her stand out is the fact that she won’t let anyone tell her no when it comes to her ambitions and dreams. At this moment of time she says, she feel so alive. Rachel is indeed grasping every bit of her destiny.
Words of Inspiration from Your Own Kind is yet her proudest accomplishment.
