Sophia Cortes, 17, Tucson High Magnet School

Three friends and I decided to apply at VOICES simply because we were broke all the time and had heard good things from people who had participated in previous years. I applied for magazine, but was told I would be best suited for radio. I enjoy playing music and exploring the ridiculous desert of the east side. For now, I want to become a speech therapist, but that may change (as it has multiple times in the past).
