About the Writer
Leanna Bobadilla, Photographer
In Downey High School, we have a lot of outgoing and loud people, not noticing the quiet ones at times. Leanna Bobadilla, 10, has joined the Downey Legend newspaper as a photographer. Seeing photography as a great form of art, Bobadilla hopes to one day graduate and go to art school, and get one step closer to her dream of being a graphic design artist.
Art means something different to Bobadilla, it is what she sees in her future. “It’s a good way to express what you’re feeling without necessarily having to say anything,” Bobadilla stated. “It’s just fun to see what you’re capable of creating, even if it isn’t always up to your expectations.”

But, first I tested my sister to see if she could find all of them and it took her about 1 minute and 40 seconds to find them all. The one in the kitchen was the one they all struggled finding for some reason. So they were trying to find all 4 but they were struggling. My sister and I started laughing at them because they had passed by the last one like three times. When they found all four I asked them which was their favorite. The one in the kitchen was their favorite because it was cartoony. Then I told my parents that one of the reasons I drew bunnies [was] to honor our pet bunny that we loved. Then my mom told my sister and I to go to the room so she could hide all the eggs in the living room. We did the little scavenger hunt as a family. My parents were watching us look for all of them while giving us clues.”](https://www.thedowneylegend.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Estephany-Hernandez-475x475.jpg)
![4/25/20: “It’s scary because over the news you hear about people dying. I was scared and I wore a face mask. Only one person was allowed into the room unlike my last pregnancy, [so] I was so happy to come home. It’s difficult because we have to tell people no they can’t see the baby as a precaution to not get her sick. They’re seeing the baby through videos, Facetime, and it’s crazy! I’m panicked; it’s really hard to do everything (anybody can get her sick) - emotionally draining.”](https://www.thedowneylegend.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Amelia-Gonzalez-469x475.jpg)
