Emma Alise Kruger is a 17-year-old senior at Madison High School. Emma was born on June 26, 2002, to her mother Kristine, and her step-father Mike. Emma was graced with 5 siblings, she is the second oldest, right behind her sister Hannah, her other siblings include a younger sister, Kiana, and brothers; Ethan, Blake, and Joseph or Joey as she calls him. Emma currently resides on her family’s farm, which she moved into 6 years ago, after jumping from house to house for quite a few years. Emma really enjoys the color blue, because she says that there is just something that is appealing, and calming about it. Emma’s favorite food is alfredo, but during the summer, as a snack, Emma enjoys eating some watermelon. If Emma were to use a food to describe her in 2019, she would use a water-logged pancake, she says that there were a lot of tears shed, and she went through some hard times. An interesting fact about Emma is that her family owns 5 horses, 2 dogs, and 2 cats.

Emma’s favorite tv show is My Hero Academia, because she likes how you can see the development of every character, and that you get to follow the main character on his journey to becoming the number one hero. Emma’s favorite movie is Venom (2018) because she really likes all of the action, and how they gave the main character a personality. Emma’s favorite book is the whole The Maximum Ride series because she likes how quirky the characters are and how they contribute to their survival. One thing Emma is really good at is drawing, she really enjoys drawing people in both relaxed and action poses.  If there was one thing Emma could not live without, it would be her sketchbooks, because drawing is something she does a lot, and she enjoys doing it very much. If there was a character that would best describe Emma, it would be Lucy Heartfilia from the Fairy Tale series. If Emma could play any character in a movie, tv-show, or book, she would play Barry Allen from The Flash, because he spends most of his time protecting others, and risks his life for people he doesn’t even know. If Emma could be on a reality show/endurance show, she would want to be on Wipeout, because she says that it looks fun to run an obstacle course, and trying not to fall.

Emma was very thankful that she learned how to make herself professional when sending emails. If there is anything in the world Emma could try and not fail, she would want to visit Tokyo. Speaking of Tokyo, if Emma could live anywhere for one year, she would live in Tokyo, because of the scenery, and all of the landmarks that it offers. If there was one thing that Emma would recommend, she would recommend that people watch Anime (Japanese Animations), because she says that there is a lot of hate toward it, and she believes people should watch it before they hate. If Emma had $5 million dollars to spend in 5 days, she would spend it on her family because she loves them so much, and would want to give them the world if she could. 

After High School, Emma is going to attend South Dakota State University and major in Theatre. As a career, Emma would like to be an actor/voice actor. In ten years, Emma hopes to make a name for herself, and that she would have been able to have a good position with the roles that she is able to land.
