Hey! I'm Ryder, and I am a seventh grader at Santa Barbara Middle School.

Why did i join Teen Press? When I shadowed last year at S.B.M.S., I learned about their afternoon electives. I thought the idea of doing 3 activities every afternoon was really cool. Then when I joined Middle School, I learned about Teen Press. Just the idea of being able to interview celebrities and even local people was really cool to me. Then, i wrote my application and was really pleased to find out I made it!

About Me: This is my first year at SBMS. I love playing volleyball, reading, hanging out with my friends, and cooking. My favorite movie is Harold and Maude. When my mom and I go to the movies, we always make our own popcorn and hide it. My favorite book is the Princess Bride. My favorite food to make and to eat is making homemade pizza with my mom.
