There’s so much to admire about her

Emma is one of the people I met during my first year at University of Waterloo

I admire so much about her

If you know Emma you know she’s always happy, she always smiles, and she always brings positive energy. How one can do all of that is beyond me. I aspire to be half of what she is, while I try to keep a happy face all the time I get annoyed very easily.

Even being around me all the time and me being me, I’ve only seen Emma snap once

How many of us say we’re going to do something everyday and then end up doing it for the first few days and fading back into our old ways

Not Emma, her Strava logs speak for herself. As someone who’s been trying to get in a better physical shape I’ve been trying to take initiative to go out more specifically run preparing for a half marathon but I go once a week and think its enough.

Every morning on routine she’s up and she logs a run, minimum 3 miles

Hardworking

I’ve never seen anyone @ Waterloo do advanced courses (and do well in them), do a part time job, other extracurricular activities, maintain their personal health, and still have time to have a healthy social life

Genuinely I don’t know how she does this

There are few people I know that work as hard as Emma and even fewer who have a character as pure as hers

Everyone has flaws and she like everyone is not one without them but I think her character and work speak volume. I might not say it but for me she’s one of the people who has made coming to the University of Waterloo worth it

She’s someone who I’d bet my life savings on would succeed no matter what challenges are placed in front of her

I strive to be half the person that Emma is. Remember to keep asking the dumb questions you always asked me

My 7th grade music teacher taught me there are no dumb questions only dumb people who are afraid to ask questions

If you ever come across this just know no matter what happens my DMs are always open

Keep smiling, that’s the best part about you :)
