Hello, My name is Sonja Castro. I am a sophomore at Dunbar  and this is my first year with Lamplighter, and I am really excited to get started. I am a very avid reader and writer. I love to tell stories and currently working on a few in my free time now. I am a very big sports and politics fan.I am always open to new ideas especially in writing. I can’t wait to write about our school and with everything going on right now it should really be interesting. I like knowing and learning as much as I can about the world around us and  to get started.
