A’Mi Wells is a huge representation of the student body here at Agua Fria, as she is our current student body president. This, being a huge accomplishment already, is not the only accomplishment she holds. Other contributions to the school or accomplishments of hers are that she is in BSU, a part of the Link Crew, and the Captain of the Track and Field team. This in itself is only a few admiring pieces of A’Mi Wells as a person. Only meeting her for the first time, you realize how well A’Mi carries herself, and how she brings light and conversation to a dull room. With the many things A’Mi has accomplished in her high school career, she also has many plans for her future. She hopes that in the future, she will attend college, receive her bachelor’s, and finish running for the Track team. Specifically, A’Mi wants to receive her master’s degree and Phd in psychology. With these degrees, A’Mi hopes to become either a neuropsychologist or a psychiatrist, as she explains they are both similar but very different, all at once.
With this new chapter in her life, A’Mi plans on keeping herself organized and disciplined, keeping herself constantly consistent, and what she describes as one of her biggest weaknesses, not procrastinating. We all have motivations for doing things we don’t want to do, especially at school. A’Mis’s motivation is having the understanding that once her work or whatever it is she needs to do is complete, she has her own time all for herself as she enjoys; she explains it as having a ‘reward system’.
We can all say we have all had unique experiences in high school. As I ask A’Mi what her experience was like, she laughs and then continues to explain that her experience as a whole was interesting, as she did things a little differently, not taking the path that everyone seems to take. A’Mi describes herself as an introvert throughout the beginning of her high school experience, which, for our student body president, seems odd, but we can see she has grown to be a bright and outstanding person. A’Mi explains that her change was motivated by her wanting “her voice to be heard rather than ignored,” and as we can see, she excelled in achieving that. For people coming into high school who aspire to do the same, A’Mi tells them not to be afraid and get out of their comfort zone, as she has to learn to do that, and she feels she still is.
Talking to A’Mi even for the first time, and in only a few minutes, you can tell the bright person she is. She has done amazing things not only as a person but as a representative for Agua Fria. If you are an upcoming high school student or still in high school, even going into college, listening to A’Mi’s advice would be beneficial. As she continues in life, what she achieved here at Agua Fria will constantly be carried with her, and she will always be an amazing representation of Agua Fria.
