As a junior, Emily Eslao is eager to continue contributing to this school’s newspaper. Besides writing and schoolwork, Emily prefers to spend her time reading, watching anime, drawing, playing piano, or listening to music. She is expecting much from her next few years at Yorba Linda High School and is excited to resume work in The Wrangler - this year as a section editor, photojournalist, and cartoonist. Before graduating, Emily hopes to expand her academic horizons and artistic aspirations. These hopes extend past high school, and she plans to pursue her education in-state at the various UCs.
