Sophia Yatchyshyn

I am a high school senior committed to attend Washington & Jefferson College to major in Psychology and Art. After years of struggling with mental health problems, I am dedicated to helping children heal their trauma to ensure a healthy adulthood. I have had a passion for art since I was little, and I cannot see myself live a life without art. I am a firm believer that art is an expressive outlet, and I want to help kids express their feelings through art if they are too difficult to put into words. I believe that everybody, no matter their race, gender, sexuality, religion, social class, education, or political affiliation can coexist peacefully, and I work to ensure this is our future. Choose to love, not to hate.
