Emily Anderson, is a senior and first year Achona staffer. Anderson loves to collect the Pura Vida bracelets from Costa Rica because she recently vacationed there with her family. Senior privileges and graduation are what Anderson is most excited about this year. Outside of school, Anderson enjoys spending her time either studying for science at her local Starbucks, or tanning and listening to music at the beach. When bored, Anderson loves to relax on the couch with a cup of tea and watch Criminal Minds on Netflix. Anderson is the oldest of four; She has a little brother and two little sisters. She likes being in a big family, because there is never a dull moment in a house full of kids. Her parents are from Chicago, Illinois and she loves to visit visit her family during holidays and vacations. Anderson has yet to decide what she wants to do when she graduates college. Her current aspirations are to excel in high school now and be accepted into a difficult college, preferably in Chicago. College is a scary thought for Anderson, because she is going to miss her friends and large family, but she feels confident that she will thrive away from home and she cannot wait to become a completely independent person.
