Greenville,
SC
-
Senator
Tim
Scott
is
pleased
to
announce
that
Greenville
native,
Rachel
Lewis,
is
serving
in
his
Greenville
office
internship
program.
Rachel
Lewis,
an
upstate
Special
Olympian
with
Down
Syndrome,
is
mentioned
frequently
when
Senator
Scott
speaks
about
his
opportunity
agenda
and
his
goal
to
help
kids
with
special
needs
reach
their
educational
goals.
Rachel
earned
her
high
school
diploma
from
Hidden
Treasures
Christian
School
in
Taylors,
and
landed
two
jobs
post
graduation.
“Rachel
Lewis
is
an
optimistic,
energetic
and
smart
young
lady,
and
I
am
glad
she
is
serving
in
my
Greenville
office
this
fall,”
Scott
said.
“When
we
release
the
potential
in
each
kid
in
our
country,
we
witness
their
success,
and
Rachel’s
story
is
proof.
Her
parents
fought
for
the
best
education
for
Rachel,
and
because
of
that,
she
is
able
to
achieve
the
American
Dream."
Scott
continued,
“Rachel
has
shown
professionalism
and
maturity
in
handling
all
of
her
work
assignments,
and
I
am
very
proud
of
all
of
her
accomplishments.
We
enjoy
having
Rachel
on
the
team,
and
I
hope
that
her
time
in
my
office
will
be
useful
as
she
continues
on
her
career
path.”
Rachel
spends
much
of
her
time
serving
the
people
of
South
Carolina—she
is
helping
with
the
special
recognition
program,
assisting
with
constituent
services,
and
attending
meetings
in
the
region
with
staff.
