Hi! My name is Sumaiyah Ali and I am a senior currently attending LMA. I enjoy running, baking, hanging out with friends, music, and ice skating. After high school, I plan on attending a four-year university majoring in a BA in Public Health. Hopefully in pursuing the path of maybe an epidemiologist. I’ve always been drawn to social justice and the influences of socio-cultural influences that health can have on different communities. As well as data analysis. But I’ve always been indecisive so who knows! I don't really have a dream college but some that I would love to go to would either be UCLA, NYU, or Emory. Going to a university out of state is ideal though. Campus social life is a big must for me, as well as being a good means far away from Orange County. From Legacy, I’m going to take away the knowledge I’ve learned about marketing within a business, especially from Virtual Enterprise. Initially, I hated business but Legacy has made me hate it a lot less! Now it’s enjoyable. Legacy has also allowed me to develop skills such as public speaking and having a growth mindset, which I am grateful for as I will definitely need it in the future. I'm feeling very optimistic about my future. Don’t know what the future holds, but I’m super excited to be more independent and focus more specifically on my interest. Becoming 18 and going off to college is a huge chapter in everyone’s life, got to embrace it to its fullest. In 10 years, I hope to be graduated from college and have a comfortable career. I want to travel and continue to learn new things. And to be surrounded by friends and family. I hope to be rich too!

Dear parents and guardians,

We invite you to join us in the upper middle school commons during your child's assigned period. Please see the schedule below.

This week we celebrated our spectacular counselors Ms. Tsang and Ms. Le! We hung up a poster with heart-shaped notes, gave them their treat boxes, and made fun videos in their honor. Make sure if you see them around to thank them for all the hard work they do!

We had a spectacular Middle School Valentine’ Day dance! Students enjoyed dancing, eating yummy food, and playing games. They especially enjoyed our pie-a-teacher fundraiser!

On Wednesday we had a wonderful TIDE Talk from Dean Ian Williamson of the UCI School of Business. He talked about his spectacular journey to becoming a Dean. We also had a fun college scavenger hunt activity to follow up! We loved hearing his inspirational talk and are so thankful that he took the time to speak to us!
