This year my dad got an air fryer for Christmas. My entire family has been intrigued by the appliance ever since they got really popular a couple of years back, and luckily my dad has no problem sharing his gift.

The Power of a Card: CAS Blog Four
My parents have always placed an emphasis on making handmade cards. While this sounds nice, I’ve always dreaded birthdays and holidays because of the extra task. Fairly recently I’ve decided to extend this gift to a few of my close friends. I was surprised by their reactions to my homemade cards, because I’ve always grownContinue reading “The Power of a Card: CAS Blog Four”
Nails: CAS Blog Three
I’ve never been super feminine, or a “girly girl”. This fact has always set me apart from my mother and sister. While I’ve always been interested in the arts, I’ve never felt creative enough to execute any of my ideas. In the past couple of months my sister has begun to get her nails doneContinue reading “Nails: CAS Blog Three”
The Interview: CAS Blog Two
On October 5 of this year I was called out of my first period biology class to the library. I got pretty nervous because it’s rare I get called somewhere during the school day, unless I get checked out. I made my way to the media center and I was pleasantly informed that I hadContinue reading “The Interview: CAS Blog Two”
An Ethical Dilemma: CAS Blog One
It’s pretty well known that cats feel satisfaction when killing animals and then presenting them to their owners. They see it as an eerie gift, a sacrifice to show the people they love most that they’re doing good. My cat loves doing this. At least once a month she brings something to our porch inContinue reading “An Ethical Dilemma: CAS Blog One”

Ever since I was little music has been a big part of my life. My mom commonly recalls times from my infancy where music, more specifically The Wiggles, seemed to be the only thing that would calm me. As I got a little older my taste fell into the hands of my parents. I haveContinue reading “Music: Our Love Language (This I Believe)”

Yo pregunté, “¿Que es el plato nacional de Guatemala?” Ella respondió muy rápido, “Oh! Chow mein!” Me reí y dijo, “¡Chow mein esContinue reading “Chow Mein y Guatemala”
Learning What It Means to Be a Learner
Every morning, for around 180 days a year, I wake up to the sound of my alarm set for 5:30 A.M. I get dressed, maybe drink a cup of coffee, and mentally prepare myself to go to school. Some days I end up a bit moodier than others. I ask myself, “Why do I evenContinue reading “Learning What It Means to Be a Learner”
About Me
Hi, I’m Emily! I feel a bit weird writing this because I’m used to writing in a formal manner, but I’m trying to have a more welcoming and relaxed tone for this post. I’m sorry if I end up sounding off (by mixing different types of writing on accident) or if I ramble too much,Continue reading “About Me”
The Fine Line Between Legal Ethics and Universal Morals
What is justice? For some it’s being able to take a stand and have your opinions valued, or to be declared not guilty for a charge of which someone was falsely accused, and sometimes it’s being served on a first come basis. A large portion of the time the word “justice” is associated with theContinue reading “The Fine Line Between Legal Ethics and Universal Morals”
