​​ ​​ Hey my name is Amanda Rae Lowery! I am 13 years old, and I was born on Christmas Eve in Plano Texas. I have two brothers: Austin and Matt, and a sister:Rachel. My mom and dad are divoriced. My dad is remarried and my mom has a boy friend. I have many different hobbies. A few of them include playing sports such as basketball, volleyball,softball and running track. I also love riding my horse Jent and hanging out with my friends! I have alot of animals. I have one dog: Nikki (I had another one named Lucy, but she passed away from cancer), four cats: Sunshine,Tigger, Festise and Momma, seven cows: Jay-Jay, Bell, Shadow, Minnie, Lola, Lizzy, and Oranges, and then I have one horse: Jent! My favorite colors are bright colors like lime green and hot pink and also purple and teal. My favorite foods are salads, steaks, and pizza. I guess one interesting thing about me is that I love animals, espically horses! The animal that I chose was wild horses. I chose the wild horse to represent me because it is loving and peaceful and I think that fits me!
