Reading a book is like entering an alternative world where anyone can become any character, and follow a journey. When reading a book, a chance to experience what it’s like being in different situations is given to the reader. Whether it’s trying to fight off some type of supernatural creature or going on a first date.
Like many of Jennifer Amaya’s favorite characters, she has a story of her own. Throughout her life Jennifer had to overcome many obstacles. Some of them more serious than others. Many of those obstacles were created by being given bad news.
Emotions, so many emotions went through her head she couldn’t even decipher one from another. Building up a wall to block off all negative thoughts, feeling the tears at the back of her eyes, there on the verge of falling down her cheek. Trying to stay as strong as possible, not only for herself, but for those around her as well. This was what Amaya went through when she got the news that an important person in her life was ill. It can be difficult to stay hopeful when given bad news, but not for Amaya. “I’m a girl who never loses hope, and someone who always thinks in a positive way,” she explained.
When put in a situation like this, everyone has something that they do to keep them going. For example, many people draw, listen to music, or do many of their favorite hobbies.
Two important activities that helps keep Amaya strong are listening to music and reading. “My idol is Phora because he’s been through a lot; he never loses hope, and he always gets right back up,” Amaya said. Although having to go through many obstacles, like some of her favorite characters have, she is looking forward to her happily ever after.
