All About Me!!


Jacob

Hi, my name is Amanda and I live in Columbus, Mississippi. I am in my late twenties and I have a 2 year old son named Jacob. I have been a single mother for a year now. Jacob is a true blessing from God. My son's father passed away January 2011 due to medical issues.

I am currently attending EMCC to pursue a Business degree. I have enrolled in online classes since Spring 2011. I have put in a lot of effort into doing well at EMCC. Though it takes a lot of time and effort, I have enjoyed college so far. I have learned a lot and continue to learn new and interesting things everyday. I am a full time student that hopes one day to own a business.

Unlike many people my age, I have a child that needs me all of the time. So where most can go out and have fun, I have to do what is right and put him first. Though a lot of my time is taken up to parenting, I enjoy doing everything I can to ensure that my child is healthy and has a fun childhood. Other than being a mother full time, I manage to do other things with my limited spare time. I enjoy reading, writing, and spending time with other family members.

I have a sister that lives in England. Her husband is in the military and is stationed out there. Ever since she started living there it has been my goal to fly overseas and visit. I have always been interested in traveling and would one day like to see more of the world then I presently have. I like to see new things and try new things. I feel that it is better to experience life to its fullest rather then be closed off to all that life has to offer.

A hobby I have always enjoyed is scrap-booking. To me scrap-booking is more then just the piecing together of miscellaneous memorabilia to fill pages of a blank book, it is your life presented as you feel it is best presented. I cannot find the words to best describe the importance of scrap-booking to me, but I can assure you that it is very important and fun in my eyes. I use the following website as a reference to make scrap-booking more interesting; http://www.scrapbook.com.

    I wish you the best of luck with school and raising that handsome little boy of yours. Being a single mother is hard, but believe me we can do it. My kids are older now and help out a lot more which has made things a lot better. Trust in the Lord and he will provide. Hope you have a wonderful day!
