Senior Edward Valencia seems to have it all figured out, with his positive attitude and dreams towards becoming a journalist. Valencia knows what he wants and where he wishes to go. He is constantly striving to get his voice heard which is one of the reasons why he decided to become a writer for the The Downey Legend. Valencia’s determination and optimism is what is going to be his rock in his journey to be successful. His interests in being a writer are to express himself in the most non-biased way possible.

 

When Valencia isn’t busy preparing for his future wishes in journalism, he is off playing Call of Duty and listening to The Beatles. Since Valencia often keeps an open mind when it comes to the future he knows he can come to be successful and wishes to major in Political Science and wants to work for Time magazine. Valencia seems to be pretty content on how he is doing. “I’m just looking for the best path that fits me,” Valencia said.
