Once upon a time there was a writer named Lydia. Her fairytale is filled with animals, kids, and friends. She is 15 years old and in the 9th grade. She enjoys sketching and digital art. Lydia is very passionate about animals, and volunteers at the SPCA animal shelter in Dublin, California. Pet-sitting and dog-walking are some of her favorite activities. She is especially fond of horses, and enjoys horseback riding. Her cat, Katiara, is one of her best friends. Lydia loves spending time with kids, and has taken many babysitting jobs. In the future, she hopes to pursue a career where she can be surrounded by children. She sings in the Danville Girls Chorus, and has taken part in many concerts including a tour in Seattle. Lydia also enjoys Dungeons and Dragons, West Coast Swing, TVE events, film-making, gaming, and a large variety of movies with her co-writers. Her homeschooling journey began in the 4th grade, and joined The Lighthouse in 5th. She is very excited for the new school year, and plans to write about animals, stories, art, and so much more.
