Issue 39 of Inspiring Teens Magazine

The Nomination: Sofia Perin enjoys teaching children's Bible school, photography, forensic science, has been named chief editor for her school yearbook, and has received early acceptance into Tarleton State University's Pre-Vet program.
I am so proud of Sofia! She inspires my family and I because while life has thrown her many challenges that would be difficult for even an adult, she has faced each one with optimism and maturity. Sofia does not get caught up in judgement and popularity but instead lives life true to herself, embracing her uniqueness, encouraging others to do the same. Sofia is determined, passionate, and caring.

Tell us about your love of photography.
As a child I would take my mom’s phone and create scenes with my stuffed animals so I guess you could say I have always had a love for taking pictures and capturing special moments what people wouldn’t normally stop and admire. My main focus is nature and it’s beauty but I have recently had experience taking portrait pictures, however taking pictures of nature is my strong suit. On my 15th birthday I was gifted a canon camera from my grandma because she knew I had only been using my phone and wanted me to have the full picture taking experience by using a camera. Although my camera is known for being a beginner camera, I have taken some wonderful photos. Thanks to my grandma I learned my way around a camera and can now take amazing pictures I hope to one day share with many people.

Being chief editor for your yearbook is a big deal! Tell us how you got the job, what it entails, and what you love most about it
The start of my yearbook career took place in 8th grade. At that time, I had joined yearbook as an extracurricular activity and thought it would be a fun thing to do. Starting high school I knew I wanted to be part of the yearbook staff but I soon learned that freshman were not able to join so this meant waiting a whole year to be part of something that I loved doing. Even after waiting a year to join again I was still so excited to be a member of the yearbook staff. Once sophomore year was coming to an end, I knew I had to make sure yearbook was on my class schedule for the upcoming year. The beginning of junior year came around and my teacher announced she was looking for the years new editors, editors were the leaders of the class and took charge of the book, this is when I knew I needed to apply for a position. A few days had passed, and my teacher was finally able to announce the new editors and name after name was said then all the sudden, I heard my name. I was so grateful to have gotten an editor position, even though I was only an assistant, I was excited. The year ended and my teacher had told us she was not going to be there my senior year and that struck the question who would be the editor in chief. Upon meeting the new teacher, I was ready to show my leadership skills and show the new teacher I had what it took to be such a major role in the yearbook class. All my hard work paid off and I was made editor in chief of yearbook. I love my job as editor in chief and I couldn’t be happier simply being part of creating memories made into a book so many people enjoy at the end of the school year.

How long have you been teaching children's Bible school and what is a favorite memory?
I taught lessons about Jesus and the bible to a group of 3rd graders at my local church for about half a year. This was an experience like no other because children really make you realize how differently they think and how they see things in life. Being a mentor and guiding them for the time that I did was amazing and each child I taught had and still has a special place in my heart. Covid unfortunately made my time with them shorter than I would have liked but I had the opportunity to have zoom calls with them to see how they were doing and what they had been up to during quarantine as well as hand write each of them a note telling them how I hoped they were staying safe during this time. Being able to teach a large group of 6 and 7 year olds about different lessons the bible can teach us and how much God loves each and every single one of us was something I never thought I would be doing but after experiencing it I am so glad I did.

What made you choose Tarelton State University and why their pre-Vet program?
I chose Tarleton State University because of their pre-vet program. From the time I could have toys I never wanted to play with barbies like other little girls, all I wanted to play with were stuffed animals. The passion of loving animals and wanting to care for them has always been a part of my life so once it became time to choose a career path I knew becoming a Vet was the one for me. I know it is a challenging work field and not many people succeed but I know I have what it takes to do what I love. Tarleton State University is one of many schools that offer a vet pathway but none of the others seemed to catch my attention like Tarleton did. Their campus is small yet comforting and will be a great place for me to take on my first four years of vet school.

Chloe Malone – Texas
Interview by Inspiring Teens
Nomination by April Malone
Photography by @vjenkinsphotography
Issue 39 of Inspiring Teens Magazine

The Nomination: Where to start with Chloe??? She's amazing! I have never seen a child that works and loves so hard. She is a straight A student, teaches Bible study to kids on Sunday and Wednesday, has been a starter and now captain on the varsity basketball team for three going on four years. Chloe participates in the sports med program at school, is a member of Fellow Christian Athletes, student counsel, and was recently crowned Homecoming Queen. She is always looking out for her little sister, her friends, and her teammates. If it means they need a ride to practice, tutoring, or just someone to talk to Chloe is always there. This girl has a true zest for life! I honestly don't know how she does it all but as a mother I couldn't be prouder.

Photography by @vjenkinsphotography

Congratulations on being captain of the V Basketball team! What do you love about basketball, being captain and your team?
I love playing basketball because it is my escape from everything, and I’ve been playing since I was 3 and have never felt how I feel on the court anywhere else. Also being a part of a team gives me a sense of belonging that isn't found anywhere else. My teammates are my best friends on and off the court and being able to play with them every day is amazing.

What is your favorite memory from basketball?
My favorite memory from basketball is probably from my freshman year when my team was playing for a spot in the regional finals and we were down and fought together as a team and ended up winning that game and advancing to the regional finals. There is nothing I love more than being competitive and winning so that game just made me love basketball even more.

Tell us about the sports med program and Fellow Christian Athletes and what you do in each of them.
In the sports medicine program, I am a Student Athletic Trainer which means I help take care of the athletes when they need water, are bleeding or get hurt during the practices or games.
In Fellowship of Christian Athletes, we all meet up together and play team bonding games and have bible studies weekly, and just get together and worship.

What is the hardest thing you have ever accomplished, and how did you do it?
Becoming TGCA All State basketball player three years in a row is a super big accomplishment for me. I have been working on my game day in and day out since I was five years old and first discovered how much I loved it. I have given up many of my nights and weekends so that I could practice, it takes a lot. Obviously if it wasn’t for the support of my coaches and family, the hours they put into me, the rides to practice, the financial support, and just them being there for me I am certain it would have been a lot more difficult.

Photography by April Malone

What advice would you give to someone who wants to be where you are today?
I would say that hard work is an inevitable! When you run into an obstacle don’t give up, step back, reassess and make a more prepared approach to the situation. Just don’t give up!

If you could publicly present any topic to a group of your peers, what would it be and why?
Peer pressure hands down. Youth today are so concerned with following the crowd and trying to fit in that sometimes they go too far. I really feel like at the end of the day you need to be able to not only live with your choices but be happy with them. Respect yourself enough to say no.

3 Things on your bucket list
I want to play college basketball, travel all over and go deep sea fishing, and I would like to backpack through Europe.

Congratulations on getting homecoming queen! What is homecoming like at your school? What are your favorite traditions and what do you love to participate in most?
At my school we don't do a homecoming dance, but homecoming is still a big thing. All week we do dress up days which is personally my favorite part of homecoming, then on Friday we have a pep rally for all the sports to get them pumped up for their games, and to get the fans ready to support.

Photography by April Malone

Where do you see yourself in 5 years/what are your plans?
In five years, I hope to be graduating college with a degree in kinesiology and pursuing a career as a basketball coach and math teacher.

What is your favorite activity or pastime that was not in your nomination?
I love to go fishing and cook out with my friends! I was raised in the country and it is just what we do.

Do you have a hidden talent? What is it?
Yes! I am pretty good cook. Cooking and baking are things my mom and I have always enjoyed doing together and I have developed quite the talent for it.

Photography by @vjenkinsphotography

Who do you find inspiring?
My coaches for sure. They time and effort that Coach Hilliard and Coach Sykes put into myself and my team is just unreal. They are so dedicated to our success on and off the court, and nothing gets by these two, I mean nothing. They love us like their own, talk to us when we need guidance, and correct us when we are wrong. That type of care, compassion and influence is what every kid needs and deserves in their life. This is exactly why I want to coach when I grow up.

What about you inspires others/why do you think you are inspiring?
It’s so hard to say something like this about yourself. If I had to guess though, I would say it’s that I always push the people in my life to achieve their dreams. The younger kids, my teammates, they are all so important to me and I let them know it. I want them to have someone solid to look to when they are struggling or just looking for an example. Essentially, I try to treat everyone like they are someone special because I like to see people smile!

How do you keep your schedule straight when you are so busy?
I keep track of everything in my phone and I schedule everything myself so that there is no confusion or conflicts, because its easy for that to happen. Being prepared for every day is probably the most important part of my routine. The little things like having my clothes laid out and making sure to pack snacks since I am always on the move make all the difference. There are a lot of times I squeeze in homework while I am on the way to games or waiting on my class to arrive at church so that I am not up too late getting that done.

Is there anything else you would like to tell us?
At the end of the day when all is said and done, it’s my faith in God that drives me.

Photography by Jeanne Marie Goss Photography

Tell us about your family and why you wanted to include them in on this interview.
I can never put into words how much I love my Family and thank them enough for making me strong, loving, caring person I am today. In 2007 not only did I lose a little sister, but my Parents lost a daughter and instead of giving up they made their marriage stronger than I could imagine. They not only showed their love for each other but for us and anyone in need of it. They showed me to never give up and keep fighting for what I want and love.

When did your interest begin of taking pictures and what are your favorite things to take pictures of?
A few years ago, when I finally realized how beautiful everyday simple things could be, like sunsets and families just spending time together. I love taking pictures of outside things but most of all when my little brother and sisters play sports.

What hair styles do you like to do best, and who do you get to practice them on?
I like to braid hair and put them into different styles, I practice them mostly on myself but sometimes on my little sisters.

Photography by Consepsion Brookins

Tell us about the sports you play & which is your favorite.
I like to play a little of all sports, but my favorite is basketball. Throughout my school years I have played basketball, volleyball, softball and ran track. I love the intensity of game and making sure we work as a team throughout the game not matter the outcome of the game.

What is one of your favorite sports memories?
My favorite memory is the past couple of years I’ve been held back from my sport’s due to several injuries but not giving up and being able to come back stronger my senior year.

Nathalie Gutierrez - Texas
Interview by Claire Plath
Nomination by Katia Lopez
Photography by Gary Hufham Professional Photography
Issue 38 of Inspiring Teens Magazine

The nomination: Nathalie Gutierrez, 13 years old is celebrating her 10 years in dance trajectory.

Photography by Gary Hufham Professional Photography

What do you love most about your passion for dance?
My passion for dance honestly started when I was 10. Even though I loved dancing since I was 3, I never really knew why. When I was 10, I joined junior company at my studio. And ever since the first week of me being in that company it made me realize my passion for dance. Dance is all about expressing your feelings of the character you are playing or even yourself. It has always been hard to express my feelings towards others but with dance it has made me conquer that fear. Through the music and arm movements and with the faces you perform with, the audience and you know how you feel.

How has dancing for 10 years impacted your daily life and routine?
Dancing has always been a part of my life ever since I was a little girl. Before I started dancing at a studio, I’d dance all over the house listening to music. When my mom signed me up to classes when I was 3, I’ve never been so happy to finally take dance classes. My love for dance has only gotten bigger. Even though I wasn’t the best dancer in my classes that didn’t matter to me because of the amount of love I have for it. When I was 10, I decided to join the junior company of my studio. And that’s when I started to learn how to dance more professionally which meant more classes per week. I would come home from school get ready for dance and straight out the door to class. Whenever I got older my routine just got more complicated. I had to find space for homework since each grade level assigned more homework and projects. All I thought about every day, every hour was school and dance. And that is still what I think about today.

Photography by Gary Hufham Professional Photography

Tell me a little bit about one of your favorite memories or experiences you have made through dance that stands out to you.
My life is full of happy memories, especially from dance. Every year we preform our annual Nutcracker. Every year I got a bigger role. But my biggest role yet was the soldier doll. My favorite memory was seeing my name as that part. I never knew I could get my first solo that year. When I saw my name on my home screen next to “Soldier doll”. I’ve felt more accomplished in my life. I knew I made it. To be honest I never really thought I was a good dancer compared to the other girls in my group. But when I saw my name. I knew I was able to do anything.

What type of dance is your favorite and why?
Every type of dance is different in its own way. And I’ve tried almost every type so far. But favorite has to be jazz. Jazz has always been my favorite ever since my first jazz class when I was 7. Jazz has been my favorite because it has all the ballet technique plus the fun arm movements and music. Jazz is all about having fun through the music. And music is something that is very important to me. Ballet is to strict, tap is all about footwork, modern is all about jumps and abstract. While jazz is all basically every type of dance into one.

Photography by Rita Harris

In what ways have you balanced school, dance, and other activities you are involved in?
Dance and school take up my whole life to be honest. I wake up early morning and go to school. After school I go home, get ready for dance, and don’t come back from home until 9:40 pm and do my homework and finish projects. It has always been super difficult to balance everything all in one whole week. But I’ve been getting the hang of it ever since I learned how to manage my time. During school hours I’ll try to finish some of my homework and projects, so I don’t have to do as much as I have to do after school. When I get home from school I get dressed quickly and eat something before I go out the door. Since my little sister always has class before me, I always find time to do some homework or study for exams before my classes. And since we always have late night rehearsals, some nights I would try to not do my homework during those days so I can have a break occasionally. When I get back home I would barely have any school work to do so I go shower, eat, and straight to bed, but if I have still have school work to do , I do it right before go to bed.

Kaya Williams – Texas
Interview by Olivia Bush
Nomination by Kwani Williams
Photography by Giantpixel Photography
Issue 38 of Inspiring Teens Magazine

The Nomination: Kaya Williams started her influencer career as all-star cheerleader and suffered an injury that set her back with her tumbling and while she is taking a break from the all star cheer world she is still working on her tumbling and discovering other sports and supporting her all-star cheer friends.

Photography by Giantpixel Photography

When did you start cheering at your gym in Virginia and what inspired you do want to start cheerleading?
I started cheering in 2014. My mom had a friend who’s daughter was cheering and she took me there to sign up for tumbling and I watch the team practice and wanted to try it

What was the transition like from cheering at a small gym to switching to a big gym? What are the differences between the two?
The transition was scary because I knew everyone at my smaller gym even the girls not on the same team as me so I was worried that I wouldn’t fit in with my team since I had tried out via video from Virginia. I think the main difference is that you have fewer athletes and coaches so it more of second family.

Photography by Giantpixel Photography

Tell me about All Star cheer and how it is different from regular cheer! What competitions have you gone to and what were they like?
I have never done any other kind of cheer, the main difference is all star is competition cheer you are not cheering for any sports at all. You are the sport and others are there to watch and cheer you on. We do several competitions around Texas but the two big ones are the NCA in Dallas Texas and The Summit at Disney’s ESPN Sports Complex. These two competitions are very large, and teams come from all across the United States and the World to compete and the atmosphere is electric

Photography by Giantpixel Photography

How were you injured and what are you doing to make the best of it?
I had an overuse injury to my Right knee in 2018. I was unable to train and compete for 5 months but I was at practice and every competition supporting my teammates. Once the Doctor released me I was able to finish the competition season off but without any of my tumbling skills.

Photography by Giantpixel Photography

Because you were injured what other sports are you discovering and what are you finding to love about them? Will you continue playing them after your injury heals?
I am going to try Track and field. I found running because it was part of my physical therapy and I enjoyed it, so hopefully this year I will be able to try out for my school team while still working on getting my tumbling back.

Ayanna Moten – Texas
Interview by Claire Plath
Nomination and Photography by Sande Bilton Photography
Issue 38 of Inspiring Teens Magazine

The Nomination: Ayanna Moten is an inspiring teen with amazing leadership qualities and is also very athletic. Ayanna is captain of the cheer team, the Secretary of the Christian Honor Society, participated in State Final 4 Basketball Tournament, All-Star Cheer Competition, was a State Qualifier in Track, and was nominated as AdvoSports Student Athlete of the Year!
Plus she takes her studies very serious, she had the highest GPA in both 9th Grade and second highest in 10th Grade and is on her second year of taking dual credit classes. She is honorary charter member of ABWA WGTEN chapter, & recently started her own business to inspire girls and young women called Uniquely Colorful.

Photography by Sande Bilton Photography

What do you enjoy most about being involved in so many different sports and what achievements have you received from them?
As a junior in high school, the thing I enjoy most about being involved in various sports like basketball, track, and cheer is the ability to socialize with different people. Not every sport holds the same participants, so it is a great way of meeting new people and creating friends from my own school and other schools. Also, I enjoy the spirit of healthy competition in sports. The competitive nature of team and individual sports pushes me to perform my absolute best even when I feel at times that I have nothing more to give. Last year, I played basketball for the first time. There was a definite learning curve in understanding the plays and the game itself. I was blessed to have an exceptional coach who wanted us to understand offense and defense and not just run plays. So, in my first year ever of playing basketball, we placed 3rd in the State Championship. It was an amazing experience! I also made it to the State Track meet in 9th grade with our relay team and it showed me what could be accomplished with hard work and faith. In cheer, I have been in a leadership role for the past 3 years. This past year, I was nominated as Student Athlete of the Year in Cheerleading in our region.

Photography by Sande Bilton Photography

Tell me a little bit about the different extracurricular activities and clubs you are a part of at your school including being Secretary of the Christian Honor Society.
This is my 3rd year in the Christian Honor Student Association and I am very excited about the upcoming year. First, I am holding an officer position in the organization. Being in leadership will allow me to have a voice in the future direction of our club. Secondly, we have significantly increased the number of service projects we are doing in the community this year and this will help me and my peers become better servant leaders.

I also hold another leadership role as Captain of the Cheer team. This is my 4th year as a cheerleader and 3rd year in leadership. I’ve developed much stronger leadership skills because I must ensure each team member knows how important they are to the team. We don’t always agree but I try to make sure everyone knows they have a voice and their thoughts will be heard. This year I have been significantly more involved in the “business and economics” side of cheer. For example, I sought out multiple vendors and led all communication with them, compared pricing and payment terms, negotiated discounts, designed our uniforms and the customization on our gear, worked out the numbers on the total expense for cheer and helped set up a payment plan for parents to pay out the expense over several months. My mom, who is a business consultant and our Team Mom for the squad, taught me a lot of questions to ask and business things to consider but she always left the final decision to me on which direction to go.

I am also on a recreational competition cheer team and it is helping me exponentially grow my cheer skills and talents. Each week, I have two days of 3 hour practices for our recreational team. For my school cheer team, we have 3-6 hours of practice each week and several of our practices begin at
6 AM. In addition, I am taking 2 dual credit classes for college so I can start getting more college hours under my belt before high school graduation. My academic accomplishments are extremely important to me. In my freshman year, I had the highest GPA in our class and in my sophomore year, I had the second highest GPA. It definitely takes time management skills with all the activities in which I am involved and the study time I need to put in each week.

Photography by Sande Bilton Photography

How has your faith impacted your life and who you are?
Proverbs 31:30 says “Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.” It is through God that I have been able to accomplish the things I have in the past 15 years. My dad is a pastor and my mom is a minister so before I was even born, faith was already a very important part of my life. My dad has always stressed the importance of living a saved life. As a teenager, living for Jesus and having fun does not have to be mutually exclusive.

I’ve seen God perform miracles with my dad’s health. He had a massive stroke when I was a baby and he probably should have died, but I saw God heal him. Ten years later he had emergency open heart surgery, and again, he probably should have died, but God healed him. So yes, “bad things do happen to good people” but my faith keeps me believing that God will make a way… even when it seems impossible.

In my 9th grade year of track, I kept believing that our 800m relay team would make it to State. I would not let myself believe otherwise. We were not the fastest team in the District, but we made it to Regionals. We were not the fastest team in the Region, but we made it to State. I just kept believing that if we did our part, God would make a way.

Tell me more about how you strive to be a role model for girls of diversity by uplifting others and making sure they all know their worth.
Growing up, I did not see a lot of women in power or in high positions who looked like me. With that missing, it was very hard to find role models in positions of power. I wanted to make sure other girls, especially Black and Brown girls, had someone they could look up to who would be a positive influence in their lives. I don’t think people really realize how hard it is when Black and Brown girls don’t see images of what they want to become when they grow up. You wouldn’t believe how excited and happy I was when I saw The Princess and the Frog when I was 4 years old. Finally, there was a Princess who looked like me! There was Snow White, Cinderella, Belle, and others but now I finally had a Princess I could call my own.

I want little girls to see me and know they can love God, be smart, be an athlete, respect themselves and each other, and remember they are valuable and beautiful. Finally, I want all girls to know they should uplift each other and not tear each other down. As girls and young women, we have the power to completely destroy one another or lift up and encourage each other. I chose to lift up girls and young women.

Photography by Sande Bilton Photography

In what ways has your love for sports influenced what you want to do with your life and what career you want to pursue?
My love of sports has inspired me to look beyond the present and include them in my future. I would like to attend college and study to form a career as a sports medicine physician. I know first hand how tough sports can be on the bodies of athletes and I want to help keep them as healthy as possible so they can pursue what they enjoy for as long as possible. While studying, I would also like to become a cheerleader at the college I am attending. Collegiate cheer is the next level for me and would allow me to reach new heights and skills in a sport that I truly love.

How can you inspire other teens to know the importance of feeling confident in who they are and embracing the comfort of their skin they were blessed with?
No love matters until you first have self-love. Self-love must be taught. It is not automatic. It is not a given. Had it not been for my parents, I would not know how to love myself, be confident in who I am, and embrace the skin I was blessed to be born in. We live in a time when girls and young see standards of “beauty” that other people impose on them. We are inundated daily with images on social media of what “beauty” should look like and it is easy to become depressed or down because you don’t look like the images you see.

But we are all put here for a purpose. Girls should be taught at a young age that beauty begins within. Next they should know they are beautiful when they look in the mirror. We are all uniquely created by God and when girls are taught that concept at a young age, peer pressure and unrealistic images won’t be so harmful to them. This year, when my mom and I were having a conversation about self-confidence, I told her in elementary school, I hated how my knees looked. Then one year I had an accident in the kitchen, cut my knee pretty badly, and ended up with a very noticeable scar. This caused me not to want to wear shorts where my knees could be seen. Even in a house where I was always taught to embrace my skin and have self-confidence, I still had insecurities. Imagine how hard it is for girls who never taught to love themselves, value themselves, appreciate themselves.

I told my mom that I not only wanted to use my voice but I wanted to build a business that would be created to help girls and young women know that they are wonderfully and fearfully made. My business, which I will be launching before the holidays, will be merchandise with positive messages of affirmations to remind the wearers of their unique qualities.

What advice would you give to someone who wants to be where you are today?
I would let others know that regardless of what is going on, you must persevere and keep pushing forward. It’s better to make small baby steps towards your goals versus giving up completely. Trust in God, put in the work, and things will work out.

Who do you find inspiring?
My mom is one of the most inspiring people I know. She does so many things and I don’t know how she manages it all. She works full-time in medical sales, has her own business, does work in the community, is the Team Mom for cheer, and always makes the time for me and my dad. My mom believes in supporting women and being a positive role model in the community. So many people look up to her and I always see her operate in grace and love. I’m proud she is my mom!
