More About Me

Hi! My name is Sofia Saunders and I am a senior at Waimea High School on Kauai, Hawai'i. I have been using this blog to document my summer plans, beginning last year in Spain, and continuing to this past summer when I stayed at SCAD for a five-week-long "Rising Stars" program. Thank you to everyone who has helped me achieve these incredible experiences!
