   I miss many things about Amanda. But we were never really close or anything. She’s more of an “acquaintance” to me. But when she’s around all of my misery and gloominess seem to disappear. She’s like a ray of sunshine, you know? It’s really great to know that there is at least someone in the world you can be yourself with and I don’t mean that I’m in love with her or something. Anyways, without Amanda here in Endeavor I can’t help but to feel like something wrong is going to happen, like there’s a storm coming.

   Amanda made everyday bright. No matter what kind of mood I was in, I couldn’t help but smile when she was around. It just doesn’t feel right without Amanda here. I miss her warming smile that she would give everyone. I really miss her personality, too. She’s what made this town great. I don’t know what we ever did without her.

   One thing that I miss about Amanda was how well she interpreted emotions. She could always tell if you were happy or sad or nervous, and she always knew what to do help you.

   Amanda showed me in the truest Lennon-McCartney spirt that All You Need is Love—love is truly all you need, and that love in all its forms is exactly what we all need, what the whole world needs.  If we could just stop losing sight of that.  And she pretty much taught me to believe in the rest of those pearls of wisdom from the band she quoted all the time—to learn how to be me, to know that where ever I am is where I am meant to be. Now I just want to return the favor and figure out where she is, and if it is anywhere she wants to be . . .

   What I miss most about Amanda is that no matter how bad you day was, or is, she’ll be sure to do something to make it 100% better. Whether it’s make your fave. kind of dessert, or just talk she’s always there for ya…maybe she did leave forever, but we can always count on those awsome memories to bring up our spirit

   I kind of miss having a mystery. One that takes a little time to solve but you know it wouldn’t matter if you solve it or not. It’s just for fun!

   Having Amanda around was a mystery. It really way. And now it’s a different mystery, one that does matter if it’s solved.

   I really hope that Amanda isn’t just playing an experiment on us. I wouldn’t feel mad, I’d be sad. :(

   she was one of the first people to welcome me into town.  i rember me getting out of the moving truck and haveing her come running over and smiling at me and telling me some interesting things about the town…......she made me feel comfortable in a new setting and because of that i was able to go to school feeling confident and that i would always have a friend.

   I miss the way she made you feel apart of her world and how it was like there was no one else. She made myself who was shy feel like the world was at the tips of my finger tips and I could reach out and grab it any time I wanted to. She is one of those people you dont want to forget.

   One thing I always noticed about Amanda - she always had a smile on her face, no matter what the situation. E.g. TEACHER: “Amanda - I’m sorry, but I can’t get you that extra day for your report - you’ll have to hand it in half finished,” AMANDA: (smiling) “Oh, thats OK. I managed to get most of it done anyway!”

   She never looked at the bad side of things, even when there wasn’t a good side to look at.

    Amanda didn’t really seem to care what anyone else thought. She would wear strange stuff, like what you said about the beret and painter’s outfit, and didn’t get embarrassed. Even if people looked at her funny, which they rarely did. I, myself, can’t pretend to not care what others think, as much as I wish I could. I talked with Amanda rarely, but she was always the type that I wanted to talk to more. She gave off an aura of “I WILL stand up for you, and will be a friend. If you can do the same for me.”

    Even Though sho was a little odd she was very kind and all the things she did that would be weird for others were normal for her because she was Amanda! She was a unique! A one of a kind!

    I miss how special she made me feel. When I felt alone she would spend the whole day with me just to make me happy. I loved her weird but charming personality. I agree wity Lizziex25, Amanda is one of a kind.

13. Rachaelemily 09.09.2009

    The thing I miss most about Amanda is the fact she always seemed to be there, whenever I was down or worried I would turn around and there was Amanda, smiling. She always used to say “we can learn a lot from yesterdays writers, todays movie stars and tomorrows generation, you will learn something everyday and it wont be anything particually academic”

    she was so creative and fun, and yet mysterious. i never got straight answers from her. it was so much fun trying to solve her mysteries. the day b4 she left, i started to get her to open up about her past, then she had to leave. she said she’d email me, but never did. the next day, she wasn’t in school. i bet whoever was/is chasing her didn’t want her to tell anyone about her past and chose that day to take her/ scare her away.this is one of her mysteries that will take longer 2 solve! omg, i miss her so much, i could cry. she was so cool, but not in a generic way. she was like a magnet. everyone loved her!

    I miss her randomness. Like one time I was a bit sad, I don’t even remember why and she sort of like popped out of nowhere and scared the lights out of me. Then she started talking about random things and cracking jokes. Thinking about her is really making me miss her.

    I could write a book about all of the things i miss about Amanda, but I guess I’ll have to shorten it. She was spontaneous and crazy (in a good way!) You never knew what she would do next, but you always knew it would be great. :(

    She always had a rather refreshing way of looking at things. She broke all the rules that most of us were so hopelessly bound to. Sometimes the ordinary needs to be deifed and authority questioned. That’s exactly what Amanda did. Now that she’s gone…aside from the investigation of her disaperance, things are slowly returning to normal, and I’m not certain that I like that…

    the creativity. she was a huge insperation to stop hiding my art and to put it out there. I was always confident about most things but not my art or music, but now my art is displayed and my voice is carryin through crouds.

    Although I was her friend, she was a mystery.  The first night I met her, she was talking to someone.  However, I had her in nearly all my classes, and she is a person I can rely on.

    in the time that amanda pent at the school we become pretty good friends and i was soooooo woried when i found out she went missing. the thing i miss about her most is her outgoingness she could do/wear ANYTHING and she wouldnt look stupid (at least to the people who really saw her for her and didnt just see some person that dressed weird) i wish i could be like amanda and not care what anyone thought about me. thats what i miss the most about her.

    Amanda gave me a goal. I followed her often, trying to figure her out, and she gave a goal: follow Amanda and find out who she really is.
    Now, I wander aimlessly (literally!)

    I loved Amanda’s statement to the world that color and life and energy were possible.  She reminded me to think outside the box.  I mean, I love my life.  I’m happy, but I guess I never actually started thinking about what I wanted to do with the rest of my life until Amanda came in.  She just made it seem like there were so many possibilities.  In fact, she seemed to embody them all.  I’m not saying I was a bump on a log or anything before she came along, but she showed me - indirectly, admittedly - to broaden my horizons and find my place in the world.  She reminded me to never be complacent.  The world isn’t too big.  That’s what I got from her.  It’s a reminder that’s going to stick with me, but I miss seeing her in action.  I never knew what she was going to do next, and I miss holding my breath and waiting for her next move.  I know, that sounds so small-town of me.  But that doesn’t make it any less true.

    Amanda was a very attention deprived person. Not necessarily from her school and such, but by her family for sure. She took on allot of things at once- and she was in many ways an adult. I can only remember her being young and care-free for on period of time. And that is what I miss the most. I missed it even when she was still around.

24. marina7 07.05.2010

    I miss how she was always outgoing and something that was out of this world. She always was there to cheer me up when I was feeling down.
    I miss her originality. She was nothing like everyone else in Endeavor.

    Exactly. I love water colors…

26. KristianaRose 10.24.2010

    I have only met her once. And yet, even if I do not miss Amanda, i feel that I have missed out on knowing her. The high school world is devoid of people like Amanda, people who are truly themselves and seem to be driven by things higher than what the rest of us focus on

    I was in her physics class, she’s one of those people who can get straight A’s and they don’t even bother. I was seated next to her. Back then, I wanted to sit next to anyone else BUT her. But when I started talking to her, I realized that she was the most amazing person I’ve ever met. She talked about things so deep, that I was so happy that I wasn’t alone when I was talking deeply about something. When one day I was so tired in class, and she just strolled in with a pale puple flowing halter dress and her hair in a bun, she word pale pink flats, and on anyone else, it would look off and silly, but it just felt right on her. SHe smiled and sat down next to me, while I was so tired and complained about the impossible task, She then said that nothing is impossible, it is only impossible in our heads. She had this odd way of thinking, like nothing can bring her down. That weekend she came to my house for our project, I remember having a little disagreement about who’s house we could go to, she said that her house was too far, and I said I could drive. I didn’t want her to know I lived with my mum, alone, with just a dog.
    But when she came in, she didn’t say anything. She said I had a quaint old house, and she loved Hunter, my dog. She said that she wished her house was like ours. I said that I don’t understand why she would want living in a broken home. She just smiled and said that anything was better than where she was now.
    It was a couple days later when she disappeared.
    It was then that I realized that seeing her was the best part of my day.
