Finding yourself.

From the moment that we obtain the slightest bit of knowledge we feel that we are all of a sudden think ourselves capable of things that require far greater wisdom and expereience. As a senior in high school I remember looking at freshman and even people in my own year, who thought that they knew everything and would act as though they would. Im not saying that i am wise or that i know everything, and that i have the ability to judge people on what they do or do not know, but looking at those type of people make me act the ezact oppitsite, i know that i have alot to learn as i am only 17 years old. I enjoy learning new things and i always take the time to listen when someone trys to tell me something and not be quick to judge. i have come along way and i still have more to go but that only goes to show the saying "the older the wiser" plays true throughout everyones lifes".

Lost.

Lately I have just been feeling lost. Like I don't have myself all put together, so I try to do things that make me feel happier. I dont know if its because its a new school with an overwhelming amount of people and people are still looking for their friend groups including myself, although i have found a set group of friends and I'm greatful for them. But something just doesnt feel right. It could be just because i am missing home and feel as though i need a refresher of who I am. I feel like a person can get so caught up with their surroundings and the people they are around that they dont always take the time to just think. Which is my problem, i just havent had time to think. Not even to think about anything particular but just to get some things together and kind of refresh myself of who i am and my morals. Everybody is in the same position when they first start college and im sure some people are feeling the same way as me right now. I am going to take some time to just think though, about any and everything just to give myself a refresher of who i am and to think about the people i care about but dont get to see or hear from everyday.

Me !

My Name is Amanda Elizabeth Anne Spencer and I was born in Bermuda and have lived there my entire life. It is my most favorite place in the entire world. I have one brother, Chris, who is 22 and he is my best friend. It wasn’t always like that; we have defiantly had our moments. My mothers name is Lynn and my father is Edward. Before University I went to a boarding school, in a town in the middle of nowhere in cold Massachusetts called Cushing Academy, it wasn’t as bad as I made it sound. I actually loved it. My family and friends are my life. Without them I would be lost and I definitely wouldn’t be the person I am today. My best friends name is Rebecca lee Conklin and her and I have been friends since we were about three or four years old, she is more then a best friend to me she is like family. I am the type of person who just kind of goes with the flow and takes things day by day. I don’t really like to stress over things and I always like to try and smile, I don’t think I can stay sad for to long. Right now I don’t really know what my major is, but I think I’m leaning towards communications or hospitality, but by not even knowing what my major is, I have absolutely no idea what I want to do after I graduate from college or what I want to be, hopefully it will come to me soon. I do know that I want to travel a lot. I love experiencing new things and seeing new places. Different cultures and religions interest me, and I love meeting new people although at times I can be very shy when I first meet someone. A lot of what has made who I am , I believe, is from the experiences I have been through and my lifestyle. I like who I am although there are things about myself that I wish I could change… but who doesn’t wish they could change something’s about themselves ?
