I'M BACK!!! Hello! My name is Amanda. I am a freshman student from Virginia. I specialize in essay writing here on Schoolhouse, as well as the development of creative narratives. Beyond reading and writing, I'm a creative writer and I've won a Scholastic Writing Regional Silver Key award in my first year submitting. I'm also an editor for our school's award winning student literary magazine, and a staff writer for the newspaper. Additionally, I enjoy expressing myself through content creation and blogging. A few other clubs I participate in currently include, Black Student Union, Debate, Mock Trial, and others! I can't wait to get to know you.
