Hello! I'm Amelia-Maria, aspiring Secondary Education major and drama minor. I'm currently taking college classes so I can become a highschool English teacher in the future. The reason I'd like to become a teacher (preferably in a kind, quiet private school) is because I enjoy teaching little children about the great things God can do for them and what they can do in return. After all, I've been educated in the Lord since I was very small.
I'm nineteen years old in a family of five: My loving mother, my awesome and hilarious father, my adorable fifteen-year-old brother and the best little sister in the world. I adore my family and my pets (a puppy and a blue parakeet). Thank God for a family who loves each other, am I right?
My favorite Bible verse is Psalm 121:7-8: "The LORD will keep you from all harm - he will watch over your life; the LORD will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore." What an excellent verse to keep those scary shadows away from kids when they're afraid of the dark! My mother told me this one when I was about six years old.
My family attends church every Sunday and I am frequently in charge of the Children's Church that goes on during the adult service. I care for the very little kids (under six years old) and give them snacks and read them Bible stories until their parents return to pick them up.
Oh, and I'm an African-American female. I have no clue what African country my ancestors were taken from, so that is of no interest to me. What IS interesting is that I am also part German, Irish, and Russian.
As such, I am well-educated. I recieved a 5.0 grade point average in school, and I took at least five Advanced-Placement classes. I was accepted into the National Louis University Gifted Program at the age of eleven, and I was also accepted into the Humanities Honors program at my school. Sixty students out of one-hundred-and-twenty are allowed into Humanities, so I thank God that I was able to pull off such a feat. In Humanities, I learned toleration. "Love your neighbor as you love yourself", right? I have friends who are Muslim, Buddhist, Gay, Lesbian, and who are overall of different races.
I feel that God wants me to be the best person I can be. How can I do that? By making friends and respecting everyone I meet, even if I feel unrespected in turn. "Turn", haha. I must "turn the other cheek", as it were.
So, it's very nice to meet you! I look forward to holding a few conversations in the future here, with all of you other lovely Christians!
