“Be a friend to those around you.”

That’s the advice Emma would give to any incoming freshmen. I think it shows such maturity and wisdom. Often times, we associate schooling with trying to attain good grades. And while that’s true, GPA may not be the single most important achievement in your high school career. After all, that number is only part of your college application and never really looked at again after that. What’s more important, then? Cultivating good relationships. Not only do good relationships improve your daily happiness, they have the potential of becoming a permanent, positive impact in your life.

I love that Emma prioritizes relationships and wants to devote to a career of helping others through nursing. Fun fact: my best friend from grade school is now a nurse!

This wise-beyond-her-years and ambitious girl also knows how to have fun! 🙂 We had such a blast at our portrait session and she literally created a splash at Spring Creek. 🙂 I think you’ll have to agree with me that this fun, kind, and stunning beauty is made for the camera!
