Introduction to Moi!
Hey y'all, I am Amanda. I am 27 years old, yes old. I am married to my male doppleganger and we have 2 fabulous children, Holly and Aria. I am from the dirty south, or rather, just Georgia :) Some hobbies of mine are singing, writing poetry and songs, reading, playing video games, doing arts and crafts, and watching movies. I am interested in a variety of things, such as: all my hobbies, children and learning, teaching, the environment, animals, DIY, Do It Yourself, projects, and literature. I speak English fluently, French partially, and Spanish partially. I took French in high school and have used it only in class and on trip to parts of Canada. I learned Spanish while living in El Paso. I was working at a Subway very close to the US/Mexico border. There were buses that would stop right outside my store with people from Mexico. I had to learn to communicate with them rather quickly. I learned how to make a sub and some other phrases to get me through living so close to Mexico. I am taking this class because it is required for me to transfer to Grand Canyon University! I hope to gain a greater insight into different language and uses.

Hi Amanda it's nice to meet you! I seems that living so close to the border could have been difficult at times but you make it sound worthwhile and that you were definitely able to gain from the experience. I hope to one day experience something like you did. :)
ReplyDeleteHey Amanda, I worked at a Burger King in Nogales which was right next to the border. A lot of people that came in only spoke Spanish. That's why I was never at the front because my Spanish wasn't as good as it should have been. Anyways I am also interested in attending GCU. I hear they have a really good education program. Good luck to you in all that you do.
ReplyDeleteHi Amanda! I love crafting too. Do you get stuck on pinterest for hours at a time like I do? Lol. Well if you haven't been on it, I highly recommend it for diy how-tos and such. I always find really interesting articles. And some really cute kids activities are really easy to find there as well.
ReplyDeleteI totally do spend hours on pintrest!!! =^.^=
DeleteHi Amanda, I'm Alex. I absolutely love the name Aria, just had to tell you that lol. That's so cool that you picked up Spanish because of your work environment, I keep telling myself I need to find an active speaking Spanish area to work at so I can keep using my Spanish. My future goal is to become an interpreter in a court house.
