In our interview, Sofia Moroz said her most vital characteristic was determination. Her resolve shows in her consistent monthly publication of her column, Dear Sofia!
Sofia is a senior at Vestal High School. She joined Bearfacts relatively recently, this being her first year of membership. However, by working hard every month, she has accomplished incredible things!
Sofia publishes the Dear Sofia column, in which readers submit anonymous questions, and Sofia does her best to give them advice. She has always enjoyed helping people, so an advice column was right up her alley. She enjoyed answering every question and learning more about how a school newspaper works.
After graduation, Sofia plans to attend the University of Buffalo, where she will major in political science. In five years, she sees herself working in politics or the nonprofit sector.
“Hopefully, I’ll have a dog and be living in my first apartment!” she says.
Sofia advises aspiring Bearfacts journalists to start their articles well before the due date. Brainstorming ideas early in the month is always a good idea!
