## Caption

Back when senior Rachel Davis’ dad Scott was still working, his wife sent him a photo of their daughter. Then-toddler Rachel was wearing Scott’s black winter glove on her left hand, just like he did. 

“It was pretty cute, because she was emulating what she had always seen,” Scott said.

She didn’t know that Scott needed the glove to dampen his nerves due to his condition — that if he wanted to hold a grocery bag, he’d need to watch the bag and wear his glove so his hand wouldn’t let go. 

Now Rachel has learned over the years about the surgery her father underwent soon after she was born. She knows about the biweekly doctor’s appointments, physical therapy for his nerves and an array of pain medications. She knows about the good days when Scott’s entire left side is on fire, and the bad days when it also burns like ice and curls his toes.

After growing up experiencing firsthand the effects of family health crises, Rachel is studying full-time at the Center of Academic Achievement, forgoing a typical high school senior year to pursue both the Biotechnology and Medical programs. As the first person to study in both programs in CAA history, Rachel will gain research and clinical experience vital to her ambition of becoming a pediatric oncologist.
