Angelica Vasquez –– Staff Writer

My name is Angelica. I’m a junior here at Legacy. Well I have to go here cause I’m in newspaper. Duh. I have been in newspaper for about three days so far. Its been really great. My favorite hobby is cooking. Cooking not baking. I use to want to become a chef but I don’t know cause its actually a very tough profession to get into. But ever since eighth grade I’ve always been interested in becoming a nurse. I absolutely love any Marvel movies. I watch any Marvel Movie as soon as they come out in theaters. I went to go to see Captain America. It was freaking amazing. I seriously can’t wait till the Avengers come out next summer. Well I guess that’s all I have to say about myself.
