Raeshell (Lee) Sorensen

Okay, 10 years to fill you in on, so buckle up, it's going to be a bumpy ride. After the festivities of high school graduation I signed up for school at UVSC with a full 2 year scholarship from that Sterling Scholar thing. I started off as an art major...I broke my right elbow from a horse kick so after that first semester I decided I didn't want to do that anymore. Changed to Biology. Throughout all this I was working full time as well...fun I know. I worked at Deer Valley teaching skiing for 3 seasons and worked at a bike shop in Payson for 2 summers while living in Springville and Orem.

After I got an Associates Degree I moved up to the BIG CITY, Salt Lake, and went to the U. I decided to go into Psychology, which only lasted a semester then I decided to go into Therapeutic Recreation. I worked for an entrepeneur of sorts in Salt Lake, I ran a character development program in elementary schools, we started a soup business, an international art symposium, an educational exchange program for Chinese government officials, planned events and many other such exciting things. I probably learned more at this job then in my 4 years of school.

During this time Benjamin Stephen Sorensen from Salt Lake City came into my life. We dated for about 6-7 months and got engaged. Ben is 6' tall with dark hair and he loves the same things I do. He is smart, good looking and fun. Never a dull moment with him. We got married in the Salt Lake Temple and moved into a small apartment downtown. He worked while I finished up my BS degree at the U with an internship at the National Ability Center (NAC) in Park City. The NAC provides adaptive and therapeutic recreation to people with disabilities. Through a series of interesting events that internship turned into me managing their equestrian program which I have been doing now for 2+ years or so. I get to teach children, youth and adults with physical, cognitive, emotional and social disabilities to ride horses while helping them build life skills in these other areas. I get to ride horses every now and then and I work with some amazing people. My hubby Ben got his CNA and is working on being a nurse. Ben and I play a lot now, we own 2 cute little heeler puppies and live in Heber. Ben is an amazing rock climber, I go with him and I also bike a lot. We camp, hike, and just play in the outdoors. Life is good and I am excited to catch up with everyone at the reunion.
