Hi, I’m Sophie, and I’m a seventh grader at the Santa Barbara Middle School.

When I picked SBMS I not only chose it for the academics, but also for Teen Press. I am a very creative person, and I love journalism! When I walked in the door to Santa Barbara Middle School Teen Press, I was kind of unsure about interviewing some of the people we cover, but that all turned  around when I did my first interview.

My first interview was at the Lobero Theater, with Eliana and we covered Rafael Amargo, one of the hottest flamenco dancers in Spain. His interview was the coolest things I have ever done. I'm looking forward to interviewing some really interesting and facinating people this year in Teen Press.
