Rising TIDE

Hi, I’m Marissa Sanchez a senior here at Legacy passionate about entrepreneurship and marketing. In my free time, I love to bake, create jewelry, listen to music, play my ukulele, and most of all spend time with my family and friends. After high school, I plan to attend a four-year university. Hopefully, I will attend my dream college, USC, and major in business and minor in marketing. The past three years at Legacy have always stressed the importance of working with others through group work and collaborative learning environments. My experience here has allowed me to further understand the importance of forming connections with those around you and how communicating to create strong relationships with colleagues allows you to bring the best of multiple ideas and opinions to create amazing results. In the future, I want to be able to truly learn and explore more about my passions and interests wherever I move on to next. I can't wait for future experiences yet to come supported by the knowledge I've gained here at Legacy, whether that be in college, future jobs, or future explorations I go on. In 10 years my passion/goal would be to start my own business. I want to take the skills and lessons learned here at Legacy and apply them to my own business in the future. I personally love and am very interested in the cosmetics field and hope to one day own my own cosmetics company combining my love for cosmetics and entrepreneurship into one!

Hi, my name is Mateo Martinez, I’m part of the first graduating class at Legacy. I’m passionate about both academics and volleyball. I’ve gotten to know many great people here at Legacy and I often find myself spending time with my friends whenever I have free time. After graduating high school, I plan to study Biology at Washington University in St. Louis. After being at Legacy for my entire high school career, I’ve gained a solid foundation of knowledge, critical thinking skills, and a passion for learning. Legacy Magnet Academy has inspired me to approach challenges with an open mind and a willingness to explore innovative solutions. For a new high school, Legacy truly is different in an eye-opening way. In all honesty, I have changed my future plans too many times. I really want to study Bio, but it could change last second to psychology, or maybe college is just out of the question. I don’t think anyone can truly be sure about their future, I’m just gonna let my life continue and see what happens.

We are changing up TIDEpool tutoring this year! Our middle schoolers will be able to receive academic help from our High school tutors! To become a tutor you must be in High School. Applications to become a tutor are now open, and you must get a teacher recommendation as well. It is a great way to get community service hours for clubs like NHS or CSF!
