About the Contributors
Eleni Ifantis, Business
Entering her second and final year of The Downey Legend as business, Eleni Ifantis, 12, looks forward to what she will get into her last year of high school. She plans to take her position to go to a 4-year college and major in business. Along with business she hopes to pursue law later. Furthermore, Ifantis takes her business knowledge outside of school by doing other people's nails and using her creative side. She uses newspaper to improve her public skills and get out of her comfort zone.
“I’m excited what senior year has to come and to make the most out of it with great memories,” Ifantis said.

As Dayami Briseno, 12, approaches her final year of high school, she approaches the Downey Legend as a social media manager to expand her horizons. She is involved in a variety of activities on campus, including being a second-year Link Crew Commissioner, being the Publicist of Key Club, and a member of the Erase the Stigma Club. She is a former member of the Downey High School Lacrosse team, a sport which she thoroughly enjoys. Briseno loves to chat and describes herself as an ambivert, where she’s not too introverted and not too extroverted. She aims to attend a four-year university with the goal of entering medical school and ultimately the medical field. “I’ve always liked medicine, and I’ve always liked helping people.” “It [The Downey Legend] really interested me,” Briseno stated. “I wanted to go and try something new.”
