Happy 10th Birthday, EMMA!


Today is Emma's birthday. When I interviewed her yesterday, I asked her how she would describe herself. "I don't know," was her reply. I asked her what her personality was like, and again she looked baffled. "I don't know," she said again. "I guess I'm quiet." Quiet? Emma? She then asked me, "How would you describe me?"

Emma is a sweet, tenderhearted girl. She's modest, conscientious, observant, and very obedient. Emma wants to do things right the first time. If she makes a mistake, she tries to fix it right away. She wants to be a good girl and please others around her, but mainly so she can be pleased with herself. Emma wears her emotions on her sleeve. When Emma is sad, everyone around her knows. When Emma is happy, everyone around her knows. Emma gets excited about the simplest things sometimes. She finds joy in simplicity. Emma thrives on a routine and a well-structured environment. She loves having one-on-one attention with her parents and she doesn't like to compete for attention. Emma is a very good student in school, not because she's a natural wiz like her brother, but because she is a HARD WORKER. Emma cares deeply about doing well in school. She cares deeply about making her family happy.
