Emma Qin

As president of the Math Club and French Club, one would think Emma Qin could not handle any more academic rigor, yet she always goes the extra mile to exceed far beyond expectations. She is also on the tennis, robotics, and badminton teams and cannot pick a favorite because she looks forward to the next season at the end of every season. On the weekends, she sometimes goes out with her friends to eat when they can convince her to not stay in her room and sleep or do math. Emma genuinely loves math because “problem solving is fun”. She loves approaching a hard problem, not knowing exactly what to do, and figuring out its solution while learning on the way. Her hard work and passion for math has paid off as she will be attending the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the spring and will be majoring in Math and Computer Science. Although she would advise her freshman self to not think of herself as antisocial and reach out to people, she will be leaving Webb with memories of hot pot with her friends, not regrets.
