SBMS Teen Press team logo
Hi, my name is Deryn and I am in 9th grade.


I think that Teen Press is a unique opportunity because we get to interview and meet important, inspiring, and inspirational people who have made a difference in our community as well as our nation. Although it is as amazing to interview normal people to hear and compare their thoughts. I think that it is cool how we can ask questions that professional reports cannot because we are kids. The best question is when it makes the person being interviewed think real deep about their answer or makes them get a big smile that shows that their answer has true meaning.

An interview idea that would be amazing would be to go to the Presidential Inauguration. This would be fun because we would get to ask the crowd questions, get to meet the president, and hear his opinions on an important day of history. I would really like to go to the Telluride Mountain Film Festival. Last year, the reporters who went had amazing things to say about the experience, and the film they showed. If I could interview one person, it would be Hope Solo, the USWNT goalkeeper, because she would be interesting to talk to her in person. I play goalie, I have read her book, she is an inspiration to me, and well as being involved in many controversies. I have lots of questions to ask her, and I think this would be an unique interview.

Some of my hobbies are doing sports such as soccer, lacrosse, swimming/diving, running, volleyball, hiking and biking. I also like doing art, being outdoors, traveling, baking, and going to the beach. I enjoy spending time with family and friends.
