Hi my name is Anya. I am a sixth grader at Santa Barbara Middle School. I'm a Reporter.

Some things that I like to do in my free time are do art, act, sing, write, play volleyball, travel (my favorite place to go is Europe, tropics, and the desert), eat, swim, cook, play games, do gymnastics, listen to music, hang out with friends, dance, be crazy, and much more!

I really wanted to be in Teen Press because I’ve heard so much about it and it sounds amazing! It’s a once in a lifetime chance and I want to take it. It also seems really fun and you get to meet all these inspiring amazing people! It’s kind of like acting because you have to memorize lines and then say them to someone and then they answer back.

What I would like to do in Teen Press is I would like to interview the Dali Lama and go on an airplane first class and then go to the beach and lie on a hammock in paradise and interview Michelle Obama, Selena Gomez, Johnny Depp, and/or Lady Gaga! That would be, like my dream interview!
