Hi, I’m Sophia, and I’m an eighth grader at the Santa Barbara Middle School.

As soon as I heard about the Teen Press I wanted to join. I walked in unsure about going out and interviewing strangers on the street, but after my first interview I was fighting team members for the microphone.

I have been interested in reporting and writing for quite a while and am totally psyched to get a little taste of it. I also enjoy dancing, doing trapeze, and doing aerial silks. I would love to pursuit a career in all three of these things and am considering going to a circus college. Sophia, the circus freak!
