As she starts out her first year on The Downey Legend, Jessica Arellano, 12, decided to be a part of the social media group while working hard being on the Downey cheerleading team as well. She’s been cheering both in school and outside competitively for a total of 8 years as a flyer. Aside from her love of the sport, Arellano has an interest in business and started a small online jewelry shop, “Daisies and Jewels,”  having hopes for it to grow. 

“I saw beaded rings on social media and thought they were so cute so I bought some beads to try out; my family liked them and told me I should start selling them,” Arellano said. “Now my business is doing good, so many people have been so supportive and it’s so cool to see them wearing the jewelry I made.”
