Name: Sofia
Age: 14
Location: NY
Chosen for: 2020 Elections for High School Students
Sofia is in ninth grade this year and is loving her classes at Open Tent! Whenever she has free time during the day, you can find her curled up with a good book. Reading is Sofia’s favorite pastime, and she has a huge collection of novels. She also enjoys writing and editing stories. Sofia is an accomplished Level 6/7 competitive gymnast and coaches’ younger children in her beloved sport. Music comes easily to her; she has played the piano for years and recently taught herself to play the ukulele. Adventure is also her passion and she helps her family plan epic camping trips, builds creative forts and explores the woods, and spends hours fishing (yes, she puts the worms on all by herself!)
What Jonathan has to say about Sofia:
Over the past ten weeks, Sofia has really shown me that she not only has a great grasp of the material and topics we’ve covered, but she also is more than able to demonstrate her knowledge and understanding in her well-crafted weekly mind-maps. She is also not shy about sharing her work in our class sessions. I have to say that Sofia has been quite enthusiastic about the various topics we’ve taken on in this course, and I’m hopeful that she’ll continue to feel that way in future courses.
