About the Writers

Newcomer to Downey High’s newspaper, The Downey Legend, Jezabel Perez, 10, joins the podcast team. Perez is part of the Kiwin's Club, a community service club that helps those who are in need. She tends to keep to herself due to her shyness, but once people get to know her and talk to her, she will become more open and freindly. Perez is caring and kind hearted, as she participates in The Thirst Project, an organization that uses the money they receive to build wells in developing countries and going around the nation to educate people, mainly students about the world water crisis.

Planning to become a social worker or a physical therapist, Perez wishes to assist those who are in need, by being someone who people can go to when they need help, as shy as she may be Perez is a great listener. “It’s a satisfying feeling that I cannot define,” Perez stated. “However, it’s a wonderful feeling of being capable to provide support for someone.”

Yasmine Jreisat, Podcaster

Staying active and helping people is what Yasmine Jreisat,10, does best. She looks forward to meeting new people and getting together to go around and help the most needed. Therefore, she has a two year experience in Downey High School’s Kiwini's club, where they fundraise money and volunteer for different organizations. She is going on her second year as a tennis player and plans on staying on the team for the rest of her high school career. And she is also going on her first year as a podcast in Downey’s newspaper.

Being unsure of what she wants to base her career on, Jreisat is focused pursing something she enjoys doing. She is driven by her determination to keep a high GPA. Making her capable of always receiving A’s in her courses, this will go in her favor whenever she decides what to base her life on. “I wanna do something enjoyable, I'm not so sure what that is going to be yet,” Jreisat stated. “But I will work on having a stable life”.
