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.

More and more as the stories we cover go by I realize how much it has changed my life. From local interviews to around the world big time stories. All my life, I would have never realized that I would be a part of Teen Press, and going to really cool places, and making a difference in our world. This trimester I am really looking forward to going to Washington D.C. and the Santa Barbara International Film Festival. YES WE CAN!
