My Life

When I found out that I had to write about myself, I was stuck. I'm always lost on where to start, or even on what I should write. In that case I guess the best way to start out is by saying that my name is Amanda Sonday, and I will be a senior in the upcoming school year. I can honestly say I'm already excited about getting this year over with, but along with that I figured I would challenge myself, which is why I'm taking this course. Writing is by far my worst quality and I believe with the help of composition, which I took last year, I can do well in this class too. Anyway, enough with the boring information!

McFarland hasn't been my hometown all my life. Until I was six, I had lived in Monona. As my family grew with the addition of my twin brothers, my parents decided it would be best if we moved to a house with a little more space. From that point on I have remained in the same house.

Living in this town has helped me create two of my biggest passions, soccer and volleyball. I started playing club volleyball when I was in seventh grade, and unfortunately my junior year was my final year of playing. I never really played with a very competitive club because I just never cared enough, but I loved getting the extra practice and meeting new people. As far as soccer goes, I just play the sport for fun. I began playing the year I moved to McFarland, but didn't find much interest in it, until I filled in for a player who quit during fifth grade. Ever since then I have loved the game. I never have gotten too serious with soccer because to me it's just a sport I play to have fun. Although these sports don't make up my life, I also enjoy hanging out with my friends, sleeping, and (the common female answer) shopping.

As far as reading goes, it's kind of up there with my writing quality. I will read if I find a good book, but if i'm faced with a non-fiction book, I usually have a hard time zoning in. Obviously this class contains a lot of that type of stuff, and I'm ready for it!

Well there's not much more that can really be said about who I am. I'm sure that I have left a lot out, but for the most part you kind of get what I'm interested in and where i've grown up. Hopefully throughout this course you will learn a little bit more about me.

  1. Hey Amanda! Good to hear from you. You mentioned one of your passions is soccer. Did you watch the World Cup today? I watched the whole thing with my 8-year-old daughter. Disappointing, but crazy exciting.

    Keep posting here, and start following your classmates' blogs. To do so, go to the comments on my first blog post and start checking out what everyone is up to.

  2. Hi Mr. Kunkle!

    I wasnt able to watch the World Cup that day. I had a volleyball league in stoughton so I missed majority of the game. I was really upset about not being able to watch it, because the best part is always the ending and of course that was what I missed, but from what I heard it was still a really good game, even though it didn't turn out the best. Luckily I was able to watch a lot of the previous games!
