Lauren Silvia, Illustrator
Inspired by her love for art coming from years of ‘doodle practice,’ freshman Lauren Silvia joins the Downey Legend as a comic illustrator. She is the only freshman on the Newspaper staff of 2020-2021 at age 13. When she isn’t drawing, Silvia spends her free time practicing for Lacrosse and her Soccer team with her dad. She plays soccer for the Slammers, an elite team, in Huntington Beach as a forward striker and is not officially on a Lacrosse team but plans on being in one . Her other casual hobbies include reading and painting for fun. Silvia’s biggest goal for her first year at Downey High is to make new friends and to break out of her shell.
“There is something I live by that I sometimes sit back and remind myself,” Silvia said.“I am enough and that is enough.”
“There is something I live by that I sometimes sit back and remind myself,” Silvia said.“I am enough and that is enough.”
