Rebeca Leon, Business
In her last year of high school, Rebeca Leon, 12, is making sure to live her life to the fullest by maintaining her 4.5 GPA whilst being able to be creative. Leon joins The Downey Legend for the business aspect of it in order to prepare herself for future endeavors. She hopes to go into political journalism at Columbia Law, however, she rediscovered her love of writing the year prior and hopes to publish her own writing on The Downey Legend in the near future. Leon has an interest in writing about politics and covering elections so she sees Tthe Downey Legend as a great opportunity to experience interviewing people first hand.
As someone who’s highschool career has been academic based, Leon is glad to have found her love for writing again, “I learned that I’m excited about writing when I’m passionate about the thing that I’m covering because being able to put my thoughts onto paper without judgment is fun and useful,” Leon stated. “I hope I get to write about things that I’m passionate about so people can feel the passion through the screen.”
