The Owl

Amanda Reader

Amanda Reader, Writer

Amanda Reader is a friendly, hard-working senior at Boulder High. She joined The Owl team this year because of her passion for uncovering and spreading both truth and justice (aka “actual tea”). This trait was most likely inherited from her mother, who works as a lawyer and is a notable inspiration to Amanda. She has always admired how her mother consistently worked hard to create the life she wanted, especially when obstacles got in the way. One of her mother's friends is also a hero to Amanda. She described this woman as “driven, successful, and down to earth” - three qualities that Amanda values and strives to achieve. When she has free time, Amanda enjoys golfing, hanging out with friends, and watching TV - but she admits that all of these activities only come after at least 20 minutes of laying in her car and preparing physically and mentally for her next move. Qualifying her as a particularly involved Panther, Amanda is involved in National Honor Society, Mock Trial, the Varsity Girls Golfing Team, and Panther Pride. Through joining the The Owl staff, Amanda hopes to improve upon her research and writing ability alike. She would like to develop these skills for college as well as her future career. Amanda prefers green grapes, but takes into account the firmness over everything.
