Hello! My name is Emma Brouqua, I am an identical twin, and I am a senior at Lake Stevens High School. Some of my interests include listening to music, playing the guitar, thrifting, crystals and photography. I also love to hang out with my friends and family (when safe.) After high school, I am looking forward to taking a gap year to build up my photography portfolio even more and to travel if safe. I will take some community college classes and transfer to a university when the time is right. My dream job is to be a concert photographer. I hope to capture the most prime and candid moments for the Viking’s Valhalla. When reading articles you will see pictures of our most memorable times in high school. I am looking forward to committing to this staff role and this unforgettable year.

Sacred Self-Care: Some people find themselves using crystals as one of the most proactive ways to bring good energy into their life and to clear their mind and body of negative energy. Crystals are used for ancient medicine and have the power to significantly alter your life. I began getting into spirituality and crystals because of my friend Mikayla who introduced me to it, telling me all the benefits it has provided in her life, explaining how someone starting out should go about it, senior Janryk Armamento said.

Audiences of some music artists found it hard to listen to their music due to some of the themes having the possibility of being glorified. Some examples would be to glorify depression, self harm, or encourage unhealthy behavior for the human brain, senior Kendra Griffen said.
