About Me

Biography

 

            My full name is Jennifer Lynn Atkins, and I am a Junior at Fountainview Academy.  I was born in North Carolina and lived there for one and a half years, then moved to Washington and lived there ever since.  I was homeschooled up until 9^th grade when I went to Tamarack Springs Academy.  I went there for two years, and then came to Fountainview Academy.

            My interests are:  being with friends, music, horseback riding, camping, biking, traveling, and a lot of other things.  I also enjoy spending time alone to think or daydream.

            To explain a little family background, my dad is a Mechanical Engineer and works at Freightliner designing battery boxes.  My mom works at a private home taking care of a 103 year old lady.  I have one older sister, and one older brother.  My sister is married and my brother is going to Walla Walla University taking Mechanical
Engineering.

            One of the things I like most about Fountainview Academy is the way people treat each other.  The staff and students are so supportive.  I also like the longer classes, because at the school I used to go to, I had fifteen minute classes.  With the longer classes, I not only learn more, but the teachers let you start on your homework in class so they can help you.

            Something I don’t like as much about FVA is the amount of time we have for study hall.  I find it hard to get my homework done in one hour.

            People know me well for either being really shy or laughing A LOT; even when something isn’t funny.

            I play mostly violin and piano, but I also play a little harmonica and accordion.

            My goal is to be a 4^th grade school teacher.  I want to help kids that struggle in school, because I’ve struggled in school my whole life and would be able to put myself in their place.
