My name is Amber Anderson. I am 29 years old and currently reside in the Northwest corner of Fairbanks, Alaska. I am married to a great guy and have five wonderful children. We have lived in Fairbanks since October 2006. Before coming to Fairbanks, my children and I lived in Rio Rancho, New Mexico and Gresham, Oregon. We were a traveling bunch in 2006, but are gladly staying in one place from now on.
I am very excited to start this English course. I enjoy writing but it can be scary and I sometimes wonder if I'm really that good at it. There are times when I love writing and times that I hate it. In the past I have written poetry, short stories, but mainly I like writing letters and my own little blogs for my eyes only. I can be a little shy when it comes to letting people read what I write, but I hope to overcome that this semester or at least in the near future.
I haven't had a lot of time for myself in the recent years. My kids have kept me very busy, but as they grow older they have gained their own independence which has enabled me to have some extra time. I love reading books that interest me and keep my eyes glued to the pages. I also love traveling, vacations, and spending time with my friends and family.
This past summer I found a new hobby in roller derby. In May 2008, some really awesome ladies started the Fairbanks Rollergirls (FBXRG). In June I joined the league and am so fortunate to be a part of such a great group of people. I used to roller skate when I was a young girl, but hadn't been on skates since then. It's a bit different to skate being almost 30. I now feel all the little aches and pains that I didn't as a youngster. I love it and will continue until my legs give out or something breaks.

Up to this point I've had an interesting life and I hope to continue having new experiences and living life to the fullest. I am looking forward to new freedoms that I didn't have in the past and can't wait until I am finished with school and able to start a career of my own.
