Hi, my name is Sofia Hallinan. I'm an eighth grader, and this is my first year on staff for Livewire. Outside of school, I participate in softball for Legion Park, and I like to draw. I draw different objects that I see around my house. My favorite thing to do during the weekend is go shopping or go to different places to explore. My family includes two cats, both named Chase and Asher, and my sister, Elianna. In school I have a lot of subjects that I like, but the one I love the most is American cultures because I love to learn about past history and different events that took place decades ago.
