My name is Sofia. I am a 7th grade reporter in Santa Barbara Middle School Teen Press.

Teen Press seemed like a really unique experience and I wanted to take my chances and see if I would get in.

I would love to visit Gerard Way because he really inspires me with his music.

I’d ask about what it was like to come out of a band and then start being a solo artist, or his favorite colors…

Who inspires me? Gerard Way or Amy Poehler, Gerard Way really inspires me because his music really speaks to me and it helped me through a lot. Amy Poehler is such a great actor and she's taken on so many roles that really brighten my day.

A story that inspires me…dad met mom, mom rejected dad, dad made mom care pack, went on date.
