Whether she’s beautifully giggling with her friends in a self-designed, handmade dress at Prom or cheering at the top of her lungs while eagerly watching underclassmen fight for the win at wrestling tournaments, Emily has always been widely regarded as the gorgeous and sweet older sister of Webb. Speaking of her role model-like behavior, exemplified both in the dorms and one of her favorite classes The American Society with Dr. Madar, Emily has created everlasting friendships with many in the community. Emily surrounds herself in activities such as wrestling, a novel experience that taught her the power of support and connection with teammates, pushing her mentally and physically through every practice. However, no matter the location: the wrestling room, Appleby, or during quiet Sunday night talks with Dr. Nguyen, Emily has found meaning in the tiniest bits of life. Some examples include her daily trips to the gym with her friends, laughing at inside-jokes while hitting painful sets of back exercises, or adventurous hikes with a side of gossip. Though she will head to the University of Texas in the fall to study Biochemistry and Physics, Emily will leave behind a legacy that inspires both current and future Webbies to seek such heartfelt connections and to realize that “maybe the real treasure was the friends we made along the way” (Anonymous).
