Hi! My name’s Kendall and I’m a seventh-grader at Santa Barbara Middle School.

    I have wanted to be a part of the Teen Press ever since I decided I was was coming to SBMS. I am so stoked that I'm a part of the team again. I'm looking forward to another great quarter, and I'm sure the rest of our awesome team is as well! I think that my passion for life and my positivity can add to the Teen Press now and in times to come. A previous interview that interested me was the interview with Angelina Jolie at the Santa Barbara Film Festival. A dream interview for me would be one with Audrey Hepburn.

    Some interests and passions of mine include theater, singing, and writing. I absolutely love theater and have been acting for years. I love how it gives you a chance to step into another character's shoes and for a while see life from a whole other perspective. You get to express yourself in ways that otherwise you wouldn't get to. It's a definite passion of mine! I also love swimming, kayaking and pretty much anything having to do with the ocean, and I practically grew up at the beach because the ocean is a two minute walk away from my house, just at the end of my street.

    If I could have only five movies in my collection, they would be Moulin Rouge, the Lord of the Rings series, Stand By Me, Forrest Gump, and West Side Story.

    A random fact about me is that I'm now engaged to the love of my life, Lyon. He's a little hard to get along with, but he's a very solid guy.
