 I am a bisexual Mexican/Native American. I am 17 years old. I attend Port Richmond High School, and I was born in Mexico. I love being with my new boyfriend Andrew Goble; we have so much fun together. I spend time with Eye Openers, an anti-violence, anti-discrimination youth group. Sometimes I'm either home or with my boyfriend. I want to go to Wagner College and get my master's degree in Sociology.

Interesting Fact: I'm the weirdest person in the world. I'm weird in every way.
Story Description:
"One Atheist, 14 Catholics"
Tuesday, June 26
Sonia first learned about Darwin in junior high school. The theory of evolution made sense to Sonia and she began to question everything she’d been taught previously by the church and her devoutly Catholic mother. Four years later, Sonia is the only atheist among her parent’s 13 children—a fact that often leaves her feeling misunderstood and tired of explaining that just because she doesn’t believe in God, she doesn’t worship the devil. Sonia’s documentary delves into the religious and cultural split that divides her from her family, especially her parents: "They grew up on little farms [in Mexico] with no running water and wooden floors. My dad started herding goats and cows when he was five years old. It was hard to survive and go to school. My mom went to school through the first grade and can only write her name."
