Personal Biography
By Allie
D'Amanda
I grew up in a small town and
graduated
with 32 people from a
private school. It was nice
growing up in a small farming town
but going to school near the city of
Rochester. I got the best of both
worlds, so to speak. When I got tired of the busy city life, I could
get in my car and drive home, sit by
the lake and watch the sunset,
take a walk in the apple orcha
rds, dip my feet in my pool while my
dog
sits by my side, or lay in the hammock and read a good 
book.
I have two younger brothers, James and Louis. James is a sophomore at Boston University and Louis is a sophomore in high school. The three of us went to the same pivate school, so we saw each other in the halls, the cafeteria and the playground. I loved that about my childhood. My parents have been there for me through thick and thin, and I thank them for giving me unconditional love.
Currently, I am a senior at Bucknell University in a gratuating class of 900. Although I may be small, I have always stood out in a crowd. I love to analyze anything and everything, and the English department at Bucknell University has given me not only unwavering support but the tools needed to confidently, and clearly express myself. I hope to go on to graduate school for communications with a focus on public relations or graphic design. Unclear of what my future holds, I am confident in who I have
become and what I have to give to the world.
I just hope that after this Semester at Sea is over, I will never forget the sights I have seen, the people I have met, and the feelings I have felt.
