Howdy My name is Talia Diaz I am 17 years old and this is my first year as a journalist. I am excited but nervous to be a first-timer in journalism but more excited. I am the youngest in my family All my siblings came to Santa Maria High School. Some of my interests are music. I love listening to all genres of music but some of my favorite artists and groups are Harry Styles, The Weeknd, and Pitbull. Some of my favorite groups are Queen, The Beatles, and The Garden.

My Hobbies are going thrifting with Mom and going to vinyl stores and I also like to garden in my free time. I have lots of plants, mostly succulents. I also like to watch movies and shows. Some of my favorite movies are Shrek, Coraline, and Bohemian Rhapsody. Some of my favorite shows are The Last Of Us and New Girl. I hope this year I graduate on stage and go to Allan Hancock College and major in Photography or Journalism.
