My mother used
to always tell me, “Amanda, life it too short to waste. While you have the time
and energy, live to your fullest potential and leave no room for regrets.” I
tend to live my life based off of that advice. I will never truly live a life
of no regrets until I accomplish the six most important things on my rapidly
expanding “bucket list.”
Growing up I faced many financial
and emotional adversities; the only thing that could bring a smile to my face
was the beauty of the ocean. It has been my dream for many years to finish my
scuba diving certification, and take my first solo dive at the Great Barrier
Reef. I would also like to one day be placed in a cage where I am able to
photograph the dark beauty behind some of the world’s largest sharks. Photography
has always been my method of escaping reality. I grew up behind the lens of a
camera. Nothing would bring me greater satisfaction than one day getting a shot
published by National Geographic.
Helping
children has always been a passion if mine, hence the reason I am majoring in
Early Childhood Education. I hope to one day positively impact the lives of
each child that I come in contact with. I am eventually going to take on the
task of learning Spanish and French, so I can travel with missionary groups and
work with children in underdeveloped countries. I believe every child deserves
the opportunity to receive a better life through the power of education.
