PEOPLE PROFILE

AMY KINDER

Occupation: Assistant, Office of Alumni Services, Southeast Missouri State University.

What do you do in your spare time? "Since I am a single parent, work full-time and go to school full-time, I rarely have spare time. On those rare occasions, I enjoy spending time with friends and finding unsual things to do."

I've always looked up to: "Professional women because they have to work harder to get ahead, and to men who are secure and comfortable with who they are."

The best part of my life is: "My children, Shawn and Cody. I hope that I will be someone they are proud of and can look up to. I try to appreciate every day, good or bad, and live each one to the max."
