Emma . . .

Introducting Emma volk - class of 2019!

Eighteen years ago we welcomed this beautiful young lady into this world! May is a huge month for this bundle of joy. Today is her birthday, and tomorrow she graduates from high school and has her grad party / open house! Emma has a heart of gold and is the real deal. She loves music; especially indie and alternative. She LOVES Florence and the Machine, Lorde, Taylor Swift, and Matt Maeson just to name a few. Emma’s perfect day is sunny. She’d love to be surrounded by animals, babies, her favorite people, a pool, and lots of laughs! When it comes to school, she finds creative writing and art are her classes of choice. Emma is artistic and loves to dance. When it comes to sports, football and baseball are her faves. It’s the Chicago Bears and LA Dodgers. Justin Turner is her favorite baseball player. Good taste, if I do say so myself!

In the fall, Emma is taking her artistic self to Iowa State University where she’ll major in apparel merchandise and design. After that, she’d like to see what areas outside the midwest have to offer. When it’s time for a meal or snack, Emma likes pasta, pickles, iced coffee, slushies, and anything vegetarian. During her free time, Emma loves to dance, draw, hang out with friends and family, play games, and chill with her dogs; her furry bros. Emma loves her dogs and all animals. And she’s a big fan of Mother Earth . . .

Emma likes poetry, but books; not so much. She does like movies. Some of her faves are Cheaper by the Dozen, classic Mary Kate and Ashley movies, Parent Trap, Mamma Mia, and Legally Blonde. On the small screen, it’s Parenthood, One Tree Hill, Friends, Grey’s Anatomy and New Girl.

Emma - I’d say the world is your oyster, but I know seafood isn’t your thing. So, I’ll say “You got this!” I know you’ll do great things. Congratulations!! Keep being the amazing, beautiful soul you are. All the best at Iowa State and beyond!! I love you and I’m so proud of you!!
