Amanda Tavares, 16, is a very helpful, caring, and grateful girl. For many years she has been volunteering at the animal shelter in Hillsborough. “It’s an uplifting experience,” said Tavares. At the shelter she gives the animals food, water, and baths plus they also play with the animals. Tavares goes there once or twice a month. She started volunteering when she was young because of her love for animals. When she isn't helping people she is riding horses in her spare time. She is planning on becoming a pediatrician. This is her third semester in journalism and is she a part of the yearbook committee.
