About Me

Who Am I?
This is a question I often ask myself. I am Amy. I am a daughter. I am a student. I am a future teacher. I am a mentor. I am a Mormon.

So first off, I am a daughter. I am from Mesa, Arizona where the rest of my family lives. I have two wonderful parents who I adore and 3 older brothers. Growing up with only brothers was not the easiest, but looking back now I would not trade it for anything. I had three brothers who backed me 100% for anything that I wanted to do. They would be the ones who would ask who to beat up if I came home crying. That is not something that you get from sisters. I also have a wonderful sister-in-law and two amazing nephews. I miss my family often. They are my best friends.

I am a student and a future teacher. I am in my Junior Year at BYU. I have loved every minute of it. I am an Elementary Education major. I have a year of classes left and then I am in the schools. It is a crazy thing to think about. Being a teacher has always been my dream. I am excited to finally be living this dream.

I am a mentor. I work as a peer mentor for BYU. It has been the best job I have ever had and I am so grateful everyday that I am able to do something that I love. I have met some of the best people in the world through this job and I can't imagine doing anything else right now. It has changed me. I am a different person because of mentoring. I am ever grateful for this change.

I am a Mormon. This is probably the biggest word to describe me. I am going to make a whole page about being a Mormon and you can read about my beliefs as a Mormon here.

Freshman Mentoring?

You want me to be honest? I really have no idea what Freshman Mentoring is or what it is good for. But it is required, so I have to do it. I had to sign up for a 'bundle'. The first bundle I signed up for was just a general writing class. I am actually very excited for it! I hope that it won't be too hard, but I also hope that I learn a lot. Oh, and did I mention that it is at 8 am! Sigh...I think this will actually be better in the long run. Hopefully... The second bundle I signed up for was suggested for elementary education majors. It combines biology and human development. Basically, all that means is a lot of people will be in both classes with me. I am excited for this, so that I will be get to know people with the same major. Also, I think these will be some of my favorite classes. I am actually excited that my college schedule is forming. It makes me so excited to see my future falling into place. CRAZY!

Mitch- Your Birth Story

When I was pregnant, I was obsessed with reading other’s birth stories. Now, I feel like it is only fair that I write one of my own.   To Mitch-   It is ironic that you were born the week of the April General Conference. A year earlier- your father and I had received the inspiration that we needed to start trying to have a child much earlier than we had originally planned. We followed Heavenly Father’s counsel and had faith that it would work out. Now we have you! Your due date was March 24, 2016. I thought you would come early, but you apparently had other ideas. You decided to come late.  Every morning that week, I would wake up and check to see if my water had broke. Every morning, I was disappointed. I went into work on the 25 th and it was one of the most miserable days because I didn’t expect to be there. You silly goose! You kept us guessing from the very beginning. Your dad and I went into my doctor’s appointment on the 25 th . I still had not made any progr...

Let's Talk About Allergies- Allergy FAQ

I want to put into perspective a moment from my life into terms that you might be able to relate with more… You are walking with your two-year old in the park. As you are walking, you see right in front of you a gun on the ground. What are your immediate thoughts and feelings? Are you worried about the safety of your child? The gun might not be loaded. Why not just let them play with it or even just touch it? OF COURSE YOU WOULDN’T THINK THAT! Any parent’s first reaction would be of fear and worry. You would think what if your child had been alone for that moment and found the gun by themselves. What if they had picked it up? What if they would have killed themselves accidentally? This is exactly how I felt when I walked through the park one day and saw a peanut shell on the ground. I was so grateful that I was holding Mitch’s hand in that moment. I am so grateful that I could just walk away with him. But still- those feelings and thoughts were there. What if in that one ...
