Hey guys my name is Amanda Lennox. I was born here and then moved to Hollister, California until I was 8 then I moved back to Idaho. I graduated from Rocky Mountain High school 2015. I do not like reading but I love movies. In my leisure time, I will usually just hang out with friends or go on some weird adventure. It may shape the world in ways of trying to encourage not to be lazy in down time and to show that you always have time for yourself. My perspective on the world used to be very simple. Be happy. As I grew and matured, I realized that that still is a goal of everyday but sometimes it is a little harder to achieve. With experience I have learned to overcome obstacles that are placed in my way. Something that has really shaped my life is my mom specifically. She raised me on her own and so I have learned from her to be confident and independant. She has been through a lot and she is the type of mother who is also my best friend. I can tell her anything and one day, when the day comes, I will raise my own like she did with me. Now that I am older, I also have realized that success takes motivation and time commitment. So many people give up too early because no progress is occurring. Another factor that has made me who I am today, sad to say, is my ex boyfriend. The typical, we were together for all of high school and he taught me to be more selfless and taught me that sometimes people just go in different paths. It was a blessing in disguise. I have a bigger vision in life and bigger goals for myself and thank him for a lot of it.

Welcome to the class! I agree 100% with this: “So many people give up too early because no progress is occurring.” Learning when to persist and when to “throw in the towel” is such an important life skill.
