My name is Finnian. I am a reporter in Santa Barbara Middle School Teen Press.

he reason I want to be in Teen Press is because Teen Press is a way to hear a lot of amazing stories, and travel to a lot of different places in the country. It is an amazing opportunity, and a great experience to have.

If I could visit with anyone I would visit with John Green. I would talk about his inspiration for his books, and if has experienced things in real life that represent his books.

A hero of mine is Craig Kielberger because he knows what he loves to do (help people) and he knew that since he was 12. I also look up to him because he made his dreams happen with hard work and perseverance.

A story that means a lot to me is Helen Keller’s story.

“The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched - they must be felt with the heart.”
Helen Keller
