Hi! As you may know my name is Emma Kadelski. I was born at Hahnemann University Hospital in Philadelphia, but I have been raised in Sicklerville, New Jersey my whole life. I also have a shore house in which I share with my family in North Wildwood, New Jersey. I am vegetarian and strongly believe in animal rights too. In my immediate family I have a mom and dad, two sisters, my cat, and my chinchilla. My mother is an an anesthesiologist and my father is a painter/construction worker. My older sister, Ava, is about to turn 17 years old and she is in her Junior year of high school. My younger sister grace is 10 years old and she is in 6th grade.

As a young girl, I went to Littlest Angels for preschool through kindergarten. After that I moved on to Union Valley Elementary school where I feel like I hit a turning point in my life. In my 5th grade year, I had a teacher named Mr. Connor. I failed the first part of the year, but he didn't give up on me. He pushed me to get good grades and to become the person I am today. Ever since I haven't gotten below a high B for my final marking period grade. I thank him for pushing me to my fullest potential and without him I wouldn't be in the place I am in today. Continuing on I moved into Ann A. Mullen middle school were I hit a lot of hardships with my friends. Now I am a sophomore in high school and cannot believe how fast time went.

On April 7, 2017 my grandfather passed away from stage four lung cancer. Finding out he had cancer, devastated me because I wasn't as close with him and didn't call him as much as I should have. We didn't get to see him that often because he lived in the farther part of Philadelphia. Because I was known as the baker in the family, the few times that we went to go see him he asked me to bake him a chocolate cake with a delicious chocolate frosting. Before I ever got to bake him the chocolate cake, he passed away. When I found out that he passed away, it filled me with so much shame and regret that I wasn't there for him and I didn't do the one thing he wanted the most from me. To this day I still feel guilt for not being there more and not being able to have him taste a cake that I made for him, but it taught me to be selfless and to never hold back from doing things/saying things because life is unpredictable.

My best friend of 5 years, Alexis Graham, has been my rock through everything. She has never betrayed me or turned on me in a hurtful way. She is like family to me. She inspires me everyday to become a better, knowledgeable person. There is never a dull moment when we are together.

Throughout my whole life I loved sports; watching them or playing them. I am usually not the best player on the team, but I continue to try to improve and have fun while playing. The two main sports that I play are softball and volleyball. I play volleyball and softball for Timber Creek, but I also play softball out of school for Gloucester Township.
