Mythology

      The role of myths in society have changed in time. Myths are stories that were told in ancient Greece and Rome. Normally part of the story would be true but in some cases that is not always true. Myths can explain simple questions about life and the world people live in.
      In ancient Greece people looked to the gods for everything. The people trusted in them and believed that they are real are real and helped them with everyday things. They put everything they believed in, into the gods. They hoped that the gods would help them win wars, have babies, etc.
     Mythology today is studied in school. People usually don't worship the gods or even believe in them. Myths in todays day in age is used to explain simple questions. Questions that little kids ask like, "Why does it rain?", or "Why is the sky blue?". They answer questions with the word, "Why?".

About Myself

My name is Amanda DiBiase. My last name's italian and means "of love". I'm a sophomore at Lake Mary Prep. Many people think I'm 16 or 17 but I'm still a baby at 14 years old. I can be shy at times but once you get to know me and I get comfortable, I'm crazy, just ask my friends. I've always wanted to go explore Europe and see what the culture there is like. I've also always wanted to go to tahiti and learn how to surf. I heard the water is GORGEOUS. 
Music is my life. I don't know what i would do without listening to music. It really lets you escape into your own world. I normally listen to Drake the most but I also listen to Meek Mill, The Weeknd (yes, it is spelled correctly), Kid Cudi, Trey Songz and also country music but i have to be in the mood for it. Tumblr and Twitter is where I pour my heart out to people who don't really care.  Also, I have an older brother, Nick. No one really knows or thinks we are related until I tell them or they see him at my house when they come over. We look absolutely nothing alike and don't act anything alike. At school we pretend we don't know each other. It's for the best. Some people say I'm one of the guys since I hang out with my "bros" a lot but thats only because I don't like to be involved in girl drama. Well, that's all i can think of for now. Time for a nap. My bed is calling me. I WANT SUMMER.
