Biography

I'm Rachelle Anne Cabral. I was born in the Philippine's with my family of four. My mothers name is also Rachelle, my fathers name is Simon, and I have one brother. My brothers name is Robert. I was born in 1985, and my brother a year after me. My father died when I was 14 years old. My father was my best friend. He was the one who thought me how to shoot. After my father died, it was hard for my family to make ends meet. I had to forget about archery and start working. I worked at a market with brother while my mother worked at a different market. I worked for a couple years, and finally my family had luck on their side. My great grandpa had passed away and we inherited his money. He was a rich old man! My mom told me that I should take up archery again, I told her that my dream was to be a professional archer. My mother and father always told me to follow my dreams.
A couple years later I went off to collage. I was still doing archery. I was requited by this woman names Marie. She said that she could teach me great things. To this day she is still my coach and I thank, and owe her a lot. I had the chance to go the Olympics because of her. My coach and I were really excited to be able to travel to Beijing to compete against different Counties best competitors. I did not win a gold, silver, or bronze medal, but I got 4th. My coach was extremely proud of me, I was extremely proud of me. The other archers were amazing, I did not bother me that I didn't win, I was grateful to be in Beijing. This year in 2012 going to London will be exciting! Hopefully I will do better than 4th! Watch out London, here I come!
