Hey guys! My name is Daphne, and I am a sophomore here at Millbrook. All my life, I have taken up hobbies like soccer and gymnastics, playing guitar, but nothing ever equated to my love for writing. Having known this from an early age, I have taken steps throughout my life to ensure that I am able to do nothing short of the thing I love most. Being a part of the Cat Talk has allowed me to share this exciting part of my life with my friends and peers.
