Allie Fern
Hello! My name is Allie Fern, and I work as the head photographer for the GVWP. I am a seventeen year old going into my senior year of high school at Tracy High! I have been a student of this program since second grade, and a coach for four years. When I'm not helping out with the Project, I love reading, writing, and running. I love exploring the world and have been to over a dozen different countries, but as I grow older, I hope to become a special education teacher with a specialized degree in autism. The mind is a fascinating place, and it's another world I hope to explore alongside my continued participation in the Great Valley Writing Project.

Sonam Sehdev
Hi, my name is Sonam and let me tell you a little about myself. I am an incoming sophmore at Tracy High and I’m still not 15. In fact, I’ll finally turn that age on November 29th, so I guess you could call me a very young sophmore. Anyways, my life is constantly in motion and I’m almost always doing something. It does get a little crazy sometimes, but I love being busy and involved with the community and my school. My normal school day consists of waking up and going to school, running to volleyball practice, or/and gymnastics, then getting home relatively late, eating, showering and then working hard on my homework. When I do find time outside my schedule, I love to hike and travel to places I’ve never been before with my loving family. I also like to take time to unwind and hang out with my friends or simply just relax at home.
