My name is Amanda Lisa.   I am 15 years old and I love writing.  Writing, for me, is a passion like no other.  Words can affect people in so many ways, and I hope to do that.   I keep a journal, to keep my thoughts in order and to clear my mind of any problems or things that are on my mind.  Though young in years, I differ from many teens my age.  I love putting things into perspective and thinking about life and how we got here.  I love learning about evolution of man, and other such things.  I speak French, though not entire fluently, but I can hold a decent conversation.   I like to daydream too, but sometimes it's takes me awhile to fully come back to reality.  The things that mean most to me are family, music and, of course, writing.  The three words I live by are love, peace and happiness.
