She cheerleaded for a soccer team in Baltimore until ultimately landing a cheerleading position with the Philadelphia Eagles. Northern Virginia Community College offered Amanda guidance and hands on help to ameliorate the difficulties of being a deaf person in hygeine school. The ladies talk about finding the perfect dental home when moving to a new town and failing boards exams and the difference in examiners from test to test.
