Rachael Gustafson will be attending Texas A & M in the fall working on a degree in Allied Health . Her eventual goal is to be an oncologist .
“ I want to go far into school , I know I can do it ,” she said .
Rachael was inspired to pursue a specialty in oncology because her brother was diagnosed at the age of five with leukemia , and she was there for his journey back to health . She spent a lot of time with him in
the hospital when she was small , and had lots of questions for his doctors during his treatments , asking , “ What ’ s that , what ’ s that ?” She describes herself as a science geek . She was a member of two different varsity sports teams , playing both volleyball and basketball for Peaster High School . In the volleyball team , she was a member of the team who went to state for the past two years . The girls ’ basketball team also did well as they finished the season as the district champions . She was a member of the National Honor Society and an officer with the Foreign Language Club . Attending Peaster ISD since kindergarten , she will miss Parker County because “ Everyone I know is here . I ’ ve lived here my whole life . You know your way around . I ’ m excited to branch out and see what else is out there for me outside of Parker County ,” she said . She plans on practicing medicine in the DFW area when she finishes medical school . She ’ s spending a short time after graduation in Panama visiting her aunt and relaxing , and plans to
put to use her four years of Spanish language classes .
