Madeline Hidalgo, Editor-in-Chief
As a three-year veteran, Madeline Hidalgo, 12, returns to the Downey Legend as a first year Co-Editor in Chief with intentions to make every minute count as her high school career comes to an end. By building up her academic resume as an active member of the robotics team, multiple clubs on campus, and Femineers, she hopes to get into a good college and achieve her dreams of becoming a civil engineer. Her passion for her extracurriculars fuels her to stay active no matter how busy because she loves to see her peers succeed.
“Honestly I just love being involved. In all my extracurriculars I am a leader or I hold responsibility which gives me a purpose and I love what I do,” Hidalgo stated. “In a bunch of different ways we also help other people and provide them with opportunities to build their resume and push for education.”
