Emily Harrison: A Heluhelu of Poetry

Emily Harrison3 months ago019 mins

Aloha everyone. I’m unsure if anyone from the school, other than the honors students and faculty, knows who Brandy McDougall is, but she is a Hawaii State Poet Laureate.

She’s published two poetry books: “Finding Meaning”, and “Birth Land.” At these conferences, she discussed and read from “Birthland” which was honestly quite moving, quite passionate. She brought tears to herself and to her audience.

Especially for a school-based poetry reading conference, I thought it was quite endearing.

Emily Harrison: Self Defense Tactics

Emily Harrison8 months ago014 mins

As part of SA awareness month, I believe that taking further precautions to protect yourself is an absolute necessity.
I do believe these few moves, if you can remember them in a high-intensity and stressful situation, may give you a better chance of not only life but getting away from your attacker.
With that thought in mind, it’s important to remember that taking further lessons, improving your strength and self-awareness, and above all else, keeping yourself out of harmful situations, is best for keeping yourself safe.

Emily Harrison: International English Honor Society

I do believe in the old saying, “actions speak louder than words.”

Of course they do. But what most fail to realize, is that words leave a bigger impact. Words, are a foundation of which a society is built. Words transform the world into something worthwhile.

Sigma Tau Delta has made it their mission to further interest and further education in both literature and the English language.

Emily Harrison: A Review of Betty’s Burgers

Emily Harrison9 months ago07 mins

You know that feeling you get when you walk into a classic dinner? The kind of nostalgia that brings you back to a life you never actually knew. The kind of life that made the world seem small enough to comfort you.

That’s what Betty’s Burgers does for me.

Alone on a Saturday night? Or worse, are you with your friends but the parties and clubs sound like torture?

Well, congrats, you’re just like me, but lucky for you I got a way to fix that!

I for one, love a place where there’s lots of food, lots of places to sit, and most importantly lots of dogs.

Do you like being shown around so you can ask questions? Do you like informational guides as you explore new places?
