CURRENT MISSION

Living life to the fullest and making every moment count

ABOUT ME

Hi! My name's Rachele. I am originally from the States but moved to Hong Kong 17 yrs ago. Although I love visiting America, Hong Kong is my home. I love to laugh, hang out with people, drink coffee, and have a good time, while at the same time, I can be serious if I need to be. I have met many people in my life having traveled all over the states as well as many countries around the world! But since my family's roots come from Italy, I am fascinated with my heritage, it's people, and the Italian language! I would love to learn how to speak Italian and eventually go there!

PHILOSOPHY

Someone once told me, "Love has no true meaning when its only a FEELING, but love is a fact when love is an ACT." From the time I awake in the morning, I choose to think the best of every person (no matter how bad they've treated me), forgive others(even when it hurts), and be an example to others around me showing them that a person's strength doesn't come from what you have done, who you are, or even what you have accomplished in life, but rather from character that is developed within.

Everyone will have challenges in life. It's not the challenge that will make you who you are, but its what you do with life's challenges that make you who you are. You can be a success in life - learn how to always fail successfully!
