As the Class of 2028 rolls in at Agua Fria High School, one partially freshman stands out—a freshman with fresh opinions: Emmy Alvardo! Anyone who has been around Emmy can say she is a beacon of light in a dark room, from her bright personality to her intuitive thinking. 

This is Emmy's first year of Journalism. She says journalism stood out from the rest of the other electives in this year's new freshman experience. Emmy believes that Journalism informs people about stories that can change or create more interest in pieces. Emmy's writing gives a sense of expression because it allows an impression of her interest to be shared with everyone. Hence one of the many reasons she is an opinion reporter. 

Let's track back to Emmy's character. Emmy describes herself as friendly but reserved. At first glance, she is timid but sparks a conversation about music, especially Frank Ocean. You'll see how interesting she is. Another one of Emmy's characteristics is empathy for others. As a child her taking care of family made her who she is. It taught her many life lessons about how people can be. She understands that it's important to consider people's feelings when expressing themselves because everyone has their own stories, backgrounds, and reasoning towards things.

Some extra information about Emmy, she wants to have an amazing wonderful high school experience by joining extracurricular activities like journalism club to express herself even more. Also, Emmy wants to join soccer too because she has been playing soccer since she was little, and has become something she's been passionate about.

For future career opportunities, Emmy sees herself as a neuropsychologist or criminal psychologist. To see how people react, behave, and think patterns after injuries like concussions.  Have a job in some type of criminal science to study different crimes and create more order in say day life. Anything in psychology interests Emmy as the way the brain works in so many different ways intrigues her.

Speaking of the future, in ten years Emmy will be twenty-four years old and hopes to see herself being in some type of school getting a degree, and being truly independent on her own. If she is ‘lucky enough’ while in her studies hopefully settling down with someone. 

Even though Emmy has three years left at Agua Fria, she is setting up a path of success towards the future.
