Sophia Meyer is a freshman at La Jolla High and is eager to begin her first year of journalism as a staff writer. She is particularly interested in writing articles advocating for social issues, including animal rights and women’s rights. Her hobbies include field hockey, playing with her pets, and participating in events with her church. Her passion for helping others is fueled by her presence in Pacific Beach Christian Church, as it is their mission to share love with everyone, regardless of their faith and beliefs. In the next year, Sophia hopes to improve her speaking skills and form more connections with her community. She is incredibly grateful for the opportunity to write for The La Jolla Hi-Tide.
