[|image : s687013720_515254_7258.jpg width="204" height="162"] My name is Amanda Bacome I am a sophomore at [|Alma College]. I graduated from [|Mount Pleasant High School] in 2007. Probably the point of high school that sticks out most in my mind would have to be when I won Prom Queen, it was such an honor. My major is Elementary Education and I plan to minor in english and history. In my spare time when I'm suppose to be doing homework I love to get on [|Facebook]. I am obsessed with purses, my favorite purses are by [|Dooney and Bourke]. I am also currently employed at [|Target], where for 6-8 hours I fold clothes and organize clothes racks by size. I also have to admit that I love anything Disney, I just went to Disney World for the first time this past April and I am convinced I am suppose to live in Cinderella's castle. I love to read, Harry Potter is a favorite. College has been a crazy experience, it has been the most stressful time of my life, and I don't think I will ever catch up on all the sleep I have lost. I have an amazing family, an amazing boyfriend, and amazing friends. I also have to say I am one of the happiest people I know.



I remember the first time I ever opened a myspace was my freshman year, and I was instantly hooked. I now have moved from myspace onto facebook. It was amazing how soon it hooked and reeled me in. I loved seeing other people's profiles and learning new things about them and designing my own page, so people could learn more about me. Online I try to represent myself in the most accurate and favorable way that I possibly can. I want to portray myself online exactly the way that I am in person. People are sometimes very careless about the things that they put on Facebook, Myspace and any othe networking sites. Sometimes by being too open on these sites I feel that these things can come to haunt you in the end. A lot of places of employee now search prospective employess on line and see what there facebook and myspaces are like, and the likely hood of you being hired can sometimes depend on what is on these sites. What you see online is actually what you get with me. I'm the same person online as I am in person. When I look at my facebook there are a few things that stick out to me just by looking and not reading anything. I'm in love, I love disney, I love sports, I love pink, and I have a lot of friends. I want people to get to know me but know so personal and in depth that I regret what's on it later. I do think that networking sites are a great thing, as long as they are used correctly. It is a great way to meet people. But you still need to be aware of what's out there and something's may look safe but really aren't.

When thinking about what to bring to class I wanted to pick things that were the most important and loved things in my life. I think the five things I brought were perfect. But if I had to think of one thing that would be negative about me that somebody could bring would have to be a phone. Not just because I talk too much on it but just because I talk too much period. I thought the activity we did on Wednesday was very interesting. It was wierd and interesting to see how people percieve and view other people based on just looking at things that mean a lot to them. I was surprised that the one person said in my group that I have the spirit of a child, because I had a picture of Beauty and the Beast. I never had really though about it in that light. I do have a spirit of a child in me the more I thought about it. But everything that was said about me was so right it was scary. I think a lot of times you can tell a lot about a person when they are just walking by themselves, or with peers. I have found a lot of the time you can see what kind of a person they are. It is good to see the way they act around others, its a good indicator of how they will act around you. I think watching people is so interesting.
