Hi I’m Amanda Wygant and I live on a farm in Kenny Lake, Alaska. My family’s farm consists of two horses, a dog, and 11 chickens. We also have four pet fish and at least 15 snails. I am currently in eighth grade and starting my ninth year at Kenny Lake School. I’m so excited to be in Mr. Voley’s Writers’ Workshop Class, and I am hoping that my writing skills will grow.
Here are some of my interests and hobbies so that you can get to know me a little bit better. My whole life I’ve loved animals. They are so cute and every single one has his/her own personality. For many of you who know me, one of my favorites is chickens.
Some activities I love are hiking, snow machining, four wheeling, photography, swimming, and biking. Even if it is minus 20 degrees below Fahrenheit I am still up for a little snow machining as long as we have hot chocolate to drink after. Almost every day last summer I went swimming, either in Willow creek or Pippin Lake. It’s hard to believe, but I never got a leech on me from swimming. I have always loved taking photos. I started when I was little. I used to steal my mom’s camera and take photos of random things.
I also enjoy traveling to new places. Even before I get there I am jittery and can’t sit in my seat. But who isn’t? It is sometimes your first time traveling to that place, and for others one of many, but you still get that feeling. Last year my family took a trip to Arizona. One of the places we stopped was the Grand Canyon and it was gorgeous. The geographical part of it is just plain amazing. I love how the rock is shaded going from a rusty red to tan and then a deep brown, and how it repeats itself over and over till it reaches the river or hits the ground. If you just stand out on one of the cliffs and look off into the distance it goes on forever, making it feel like the whole world is right in front of you. It gets you thinking, like how long it took the river to carve such a beautiful place. Or it causes the occasional butterflies to sprout in your stomach when you stare over the edge hoping that you won’t fall. In the future I would love to go back there along with many of the other places we visited. Another goal I have is to travel to different countries and experience other cultures. Since I am interested in photography maybe that is something I could do in the future to see the world.
I hope this year you find my stories intriguing and entertaining. I am looking forward to writing on many different subjects.
