    With the hopes of one day being involved in the medical field, junior Natalia Sotomayor’s, growth mindset, determination, and studies have encouraged her to become a veterinarian. In order to procure this dream job, Sotomayor prepares herself by joining newspaper’s comic artists,  and taking a rigorous college prep course, honors human body systems. Here, you study the anatomical composition of all living things by conducting research, dissecting, and discussing. 

    The main reason Sotomayor decided to consider becoming a veterinarian was because her puppy, Annie, needed to undergo surgery. Later, she proudly exclaimed, “they helped her, and I’m eternally grateful for that,” showing a more vulnerable side. Then, after further discussion about the pros and cons of becoming a veterinarian, she mentioned, “...at least with this job I’m still able to help animals; one pet at a time.” Having the Downey Legend as an accessible source, Sotomayor, hopes to spread her love and awareness through the comics she illustrates.

    • Sanchez favorite thing about art is whenever she’s having a hard time about something she puts on her music and draws or paints whatever she wants in order to get her thoughts together. Some favorite things Sanchez likes to do is draw or paint skulls and flowers. “My mom loved skulls as well as I do, they’ve always been around my whole life and I associate them with her.” Sanchez stated “I also like the shadows they have which are struggling but a good way to learn shadows. As for flowers, they are really pretty and can cover a lot of mistakes in a painting.”
