Victoria Rosales, Photographer

Victoria Rosales is a 17-year-old senior joining The Downey Legend for the first time as a photographer. “I am very excited for this year,” Rosales said. “On a scale from one to ten, I’m at an eight.” Rosales was recommend by a friend who was previously a writer on The Downey Legend; he told her she would have a great experience and she was fit for the job. Rosales loves photography so much that she wanted to do something about it. With this passion, she took her friend’s advice and joined.

She does plan to go to college, but she is still not sure what she wants to major in.

She does know that she wants to go to a Cal-State or community college, but for now she is trying to enjoy her senior year. “I like all my classes; I just hope to least pass with As and Bs,” Rosales stated. Although Rosales’ focus is on school, she enjoys reading; her favorite books are Looking for Alaska and If I Stay. She also likes to take pictures daily to improve on her photography skills. “I know I am on the right track,” she said “I just don’t want to make a mistake.” On another note, she definitely want, to go to prom with friends or a date, but that is only of many memories she will make. As Rosales works hard to stay on the right track, she also plans to make this last year her best. Rosales has a bright future ahead and she plans on getting there with hard work.
