Typically, ‘left-brained’ people look at the analytic side. ‘Right-brained’ people explore a more imaginative side. Senior Erin Doran is the result of the harmonious mix of both.
“I guess it’s sort of like a paradox- the way that I’m more of a logical thinker but I also do these creative things,” Erin said.
The logical and analytical ‘left brain’ side of Erin is expressed in math.
“[I like] math because it's very logical and there's usually only one or two answers, there's no discrepancies,” She said.
Algebra, in particular, has that special appeal to Erin, who is currently taking AP Calculus and AP Computer Science. With Algebra, there is one, maybe two, clear-cut answers. There is no outside of the box thinking. Everything is precise, …show more content…

Erin’s worlds, one systematic and one unmethodical, meet when it comes to writing and reading.
Erin believes her stories are more episodic rather than completely sequential. There is no step-by-step process she goes through to make up her stories. However, Erin does prefer the elements if the story to be clear and precise. She wants the reader to know who is who, what each character has done, and when these characters have done things.
When it comes to reading, one of Erin’s favorite genre is mystery.
“[I] like [it] when you have something and you have to figure it out, based on clues,” She said. “I really like the moment where everything comes together, course it has to be well
