Dania Legido has always been those people that only come once every few hundred years. She’s always been a high achiever who never backs down from challenges. She’s a bright and educated student who brings out the best in herself and others. She is sophisticated, elegant, and charming. She’s a very hard working student who just wants the best life for herself and is willing to put in as much effort as needed. She’s a selfless person who inspires people to become better in themselves and for others.

Dania, a 17-year-old journalist and student, isn’t your typical average teenager. Her journey into this exciting new adventure started in her journalism class when she was still a sophomore that allowed her to branch out to different opportunities that would soon come her way.

Every Wednesday and Saturday, Dania uses her personal time to work as a student journalist at the Boyle Heights Beat. She began by writing articles to provide people with an insight on what has been happening in their community. Overtime, she found a passion for journalism and writing.

“The way to succeed in life is through hard work and dedication. Nobody is going to just hand you a good future. You have to make that yourself.” Dania says as she works on her laptop journaling.

It’s about making people aware that life is a game you have to play. If you want a good future, you have to put in the work. Whatever you put out in this world, is what you are going to receive. “I believe that she is an educated person who knows the definition of succession.” with a twinkle in her eyes.
