If you’re looking for a good read, look no further than Sophia Ma’s novel, “One Star in a Jar.” Like her writing, Sophia is deeply thoughtful; she is someone who observes the world carefully, then reshapes it into something honest and quietly powerful. Arriving at Webb, Sophia felt a natural pressure to fit into the version of herself she had imagined. Over four years, that version faded and evolved into a confident, thoughtful person. The same introspection that fueled her creative and impressive publication journey is the same that makes her a great friend to go to. By junior year, Sophia had accomplished a lifelong dream by publishing her own novella, a collection of short stories loosely inspired by her life. Though she now reflects how she might have written it differently, the achievement stands as a testament to her discipline and imagination. Sophia expresses what often goes unsaid. Whether through writing or visual art, she continues to explore new forms of storytelling. Sophia will be remembered for her dedication to the tennis team, love of humanities courses, campus adventures, chapel talks, and the friendships she built along the way. As Sophia heads to her next chapter at the University of California, Berkeley, she will balance idealism and growing practicality. Wherever she goes next, her story is only just the beginning.
