About Me

Amy Barton grew up in a small suburb off of Seattle. She is number 5 to her parent's 6 kids, and just barely moved out. She now lives in Sacramento, California.

This is a pitcure of her, taken in front of an adorable bookstore in Seattle by Heidi, her awesome friend.



Things to know about me from this pitcure:
My hair is the same color as all of my brown shirts. I like it that way, usually.
I don't remember what I'm looking at.
Those are my two favorite shirts, and one of them has a hole in it, which grieves me.

Other important things:

1. I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.
2. I am a volunteer with City Year.
3. I am female (this is important).
4. I am learning to eat vegetarian. That is, to eat like a vegetarian, not to eat vegetarians. Because that would be cannabalistic. And not very vegentarianism-like.
5. Sacramento is a beautiful place, and I love it there.
6. I will be permanently cold when I go home.
7. I have a fish, his name is Loonette-ka, and I love him.
8. I am one of Bug and Cash's humans. But they are not my dogs.
9. When I was in high school I took one AP class, just barely passed it, and didn't take the test at the end. Oh well, so sad.
10. The next year I participated in the program Running Start, which allowed me to go to the local community college and take classes there with the big kids. Yes, I loved it. No, it probably didn't help my GPA. Yes, I think it prepared me for college.
11. In the Spring of 2012, I graduated from high school with 66 college credits and a GPA of 3.11. Cum Laude. I had the cord and everything. In case you really wanted to know.
12. I ride a bike everywhere. Well, lots of places, at least.
13. In December of 2011, I decided I wanted to take a year off of school to volunteer. I found City Year.
