About me! (No. 6)

Hey everyone! My name is Amaya Thompson and I go to American High School. I am African American and Puerto Rican. I have six siblings and I am kind of the middle child. I have a summer job at California’s Great America, and I am a Lifeguard. I love this job because it is supper fun, I have met a lot of new people and it was also my very first job, and I am now going on to my 3rd year. I love to go to the beach and just hear and watch the waves. I like to draw, do arts and crafts. I made this 3D shark before out of cardboard. I am looking forward to this trip because I also like to help people out when needed and I also want to learn more about my Hispanic side since I don’t know much about it. I can’t wait to meet you all and try different foods with  you guys. Nos vemos pronto!

Amaya! Its good to know we have someone CPR certified on our trip, I grew up going to Great America with my cousins, so that’s amazing to hear that you love your job.
Either Erika or myself will be reaching out via phone call this week and the following to check in and answer any last minute questions you or your family may have.
I’m glad you’re here and I look forward to seeing you on on travel day JUNE 20th at SFO remember to be at the airport early. We want to be there 3 hours before departure time – 7:55am is our meeting time.
