Hello, my name is Amanda Smith and I am a freshman here at Rhode Island College. I am an Elementary Education major with a concentration in Math. I am a full time student and I work part time at Target at the Warwick Mall. I am the oldest of 2 siblings. Family is a huge part of my life.

     In high school, I was very involved. I was Vice President for my class my Junior and Senior year. I was Drum Major of my school's marching band which is the only competing marching band in the state of Rhode Island. For anyone who does not know what a Drum Major is... I basically was in charge of the whole band and conducted the show on the field. With the band, I have performed in Downtown Disney, and marched in both Magic Kingdom's and Sea World's parades. That was probably the highlight of my high school career. I also got the chance to march Nationals at Metlife Stadium where the NY Giants and the NY Jets play football for any sports fans out there.  

 In my free time, I like to cook, listen and play music, go for random car rides and play with my dog. I enjoy to meet new people and get to know everyone. I am excited about this class because I will be able to do both.
