Finding herself through art

By: Armando Gonzalez

For most students high school may be hard on them not having much time to do things that benefit her to find relief  But  Yerba buena student Sophia Pardo has found  art as a way to escape from feeling stressed and feeling down

Going into elementary Sophia didn’t have many friends due to her being “shy”. So drawing was something that  Sophia liked doing in her time until  Sophia was partnered up in her class with a boy named Miguel that had become her friend and as well helped her out sophia had said quote “Miguel helped me overcome the fear of making friends”  Miguel Had Helped Her become more open to making friends helping her get over that fear , but what ways did drawing help her? 

Well What exactly makes her want to draw is when she is feeling down it helps her feel at peace and enlightens her mood Sophia said it’s a way to cope with her feelings she prefers to do it in her own time so no one’s bothering her in her own space, Sophia had said that this one time when she had drawn for her family it made her feel enlighten & better.

But Sophia  doesn’t just draw when she is feeling down Sophia , Sophia loves to draw as a hobby, Sophia  really into any type of art, but in her preference she likes to draw on paper more than canvas, a specific piece of art that Sophia likes Is the roses in the picture i have there she had roses out of paper it had took her awhile and its pieces but that means a lot to her.

Something else that she likes to do when Sophia  is drawing is listening to music especially (Kali uchis), 

 Sophia says her songs and melody helps her cope and keeps her cool when  Sophia needs a way to calm down,  Sophia mentioned to me that she also wanted to Go to one of the artist concert since (Kali uchis) that had been recent, it is her main artist that Sophia prefers to  listen to when Sophia  draws.
