We asked her parents some questions about her character and her journeys growing up.
Has she always been interested in writing?
Amelia has always been an avid reader, and she also has always enjoyed writing since she was in elementary school. She’s very creative and writing has been another good outlet for her to communicate her thoughts and ideas. -Kelly Buhl
Use one word to describe her and why?
Empathetic. Amelia has the gift of strong emotional intelligence and has exceptional awareness of seeing and understanding different people. She is gracious and accepting of others allowing her to have a variety of different relationships with others who may not be like her. -Kelly Buhl
What is her greatest accomplishment in your opinion?
Her strong work ethic in school and in work certainly is something that brings us great pride. Her greatest accomplishment is her strong faith and the way she treats other people. Her kind and gracious spirit and enthusiasm for life will drive her success in whatever she chooses to do. -Kelly Buhl
What advice would you give her when she’s off to college?
Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways, acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight. Be strong in the Lord and in the Power of his Might. Be tenacious and gritty in all you do and go for it! Continue to love others with grace. Be humble and gentle, love unconditionally, and stay rooted in your faith. -Kelly Buhl
