I've found that, my great grandmother and her family had escaped the holocaust and reclaimed themselves as christians. I never celebrated any jewish traditions. My moms side is Early Settlers of West Virginia if you have heard of the Hatfield vs  Well the Hatfields is my mothers side. According to Ancestry DNA i'm almost 25% spanish!]]> 2017-09-04 21:07:40 UTC https://padlet.com/amandameghanspencer/8zkye16gebxp/wish/184578911 amandameghanspencer https://padlet.com/amandameghanspencer/8zkye16gebxp/wish/184579900 Both sides of my family almost 90% of them are teachers. All my aunts,uncles and even my parents are teachers. My dad is a middle school science teacher, while my mom is a young adult special education teacher. I tried to avoid my teaching path for a while now, even though i'm so passionate about teaching. After two years of studying Social Work I am now a Special Education Major.]]> 2017-09-04 21:18:20 UTC https://padlet.com/amandameghanspencer/8zkye16gebxp/wish/184579900 amandameghanspencer https://padlet.com/amandameghanspencer/8zkye16gebxp/wish/184580241 My parents moved to Cape Cod, fresh out of college right before they had me. After being married for a year they had me in 1997, and soon following they had my brother Joshua is 1998. This summer we went back to Cape Cod, as a family tradition and my parents showed me where I took my first steps!]]> 2017-09-04 21:22:33 UTC https://padlet.com/amandameghanspencer/8zkye16gebxp/wish/184580241 amandameghanspencer https://padlet.com/amandameghanspencer/8zkye16gebxp/wish/184580429 My parents have been together for over 20 years. They're still madly in love. Ever since I was a kid I've wanted what they want. They showed me what a good relationship between two people is and I truly respect that. I met my boyfriend similar to how my parents met each other. We have been together for a long time, and he has stuck by my side through everything.]]> 2017-09-04 21:24:56 UTC https://padlet.com/amandameghanspencer/8zkye16gebxp/wish/184580429 amandameghanspencer https://padlet.com/amandameghanspencer/8zkye16gebxp/wish/184580605 I've been almost all over Europe and i'm working my way all over the United States. Traveling is something I'm passionate about. I have a strong desire to change my life up dramatically every few years. I love trying new things, and living in new places!]]> 2017-09-04 21:26:58 UTC https://padlet.com/amandameghanspencer/8zkye16gebxp/wish/184580605 amandameghanspencer https://padlet.com/amandameghanspencer/8zkye16gebxp/wish/184580922 I have worked at Variety Club for over two years. I mainly work in the Summer but almost occasionally during the school year. I work with young adults who have severe disabilities, again like my mother. I love the challenge. Many days I come out of work being hit, slapped, kicked, bite and even stuff thrown at me. My mother has taught me how to help others, and she has rubbed off her passion on me. But my passion is too help and I've seen how I have changed some adults lives!]]> 2017-09-04 21:30:57 UTC https://padlet.com/amandameghanspencer/8zkye16gebxp/wish/184580922 amandameghanspencer https://padlet.com/amandameghanspencer/8zkye16gebxp/wish/184581724 In High School I was very depressed to say the least. Thats why memoir is it took a while to move forward. I didn't have any self esteem, and was a nasty person. I've gained self esteem and part of that reason is being I have lost over 75 pounds. Health is a very important part of my life. I've kept the weight off for a year, and I will continue to to so!]]> 2017-09-04 21:40:59 UTC https://padlet.com/amandameghanspencer/8zkye16gebxp/wish/184581724 amandameghanspencer https://padlet.com/amandameghanspencer/8zkye16gebxp/wish/184581904 2017-09-04 21:43:26 UTC https://padlet.com/amandameghanspencer/8zkye16gebxp/wish/184581904 amandameghanspencer https://padlet.com/amandameghanspencer/8zkye16gebxp/wish/184581970 My goal in life is to be happy, and take my time getting to my other goals. Here is a picture of my coconut drink, at the Bahamas which is one of my favorite travel spots!]]> 2017-09-04 21:44:29 UTC https://padlet.com/amandameghanspencer/8zkye16gebxp/wish/184581970 amandameghanspencer https://padlet.com/amandameghanspencer/8zkye16gebxp/wish/184582040 Growing up being close to my family, and traveling hours to see them has really shaped who I am today. I've always been really close with my cousins. Every Sunday before my grandmother passed we used to have dinner and have a bible study lesson! My family is very big in their faith! :)]]> 2017-09-04 21:45:06 UTC https://padlet.com/amandameghanspencer/8zkye16gebxp/wish/184582040
