About the Contributor
Emma Berry, Opinions Editor
Emma Berry ’15 is Inklings’ Opinions page editor, but wishes she was something more - something like Beyoncè. Emma was born in Paris and lived there for three years before she moved to London. Another three years later, she moved to Westport just in time to start Kindergarten at Coleytown Elementary School. She went to Coleytown Middle School, and now she attends Staples High School. This Senior girl spends her non-Beyonce-like days working hard for Inklings and being the captain of the Staples ski team. When she’s not on the slopes with her teammates, she continues to practice her skills in Vermont on the weekends. She is very dedicated to this sport that she says is “truly exhilarating.” Another thing Emma loves is her family, which consists of her parents, two brothers and dog. Together, they ski and travel. Her favorite destination they traveled to thus far was Dublin, Ireland, which is where her cousins, aunts and uncles live. Emma enjoys listening to all types of music ranging from pop to alternative. Although, she does have a disdain for country music. To her, each song is a three minute display of Americans trying to be as patriotic as possible. Nevertheless, she still loves her country. For her final year at Staples, Emma is looking forward to all the events and activities that come with being a senior. For years, she has been waiting for motorcade, homecoming and all the senior traditions. She is excited to see what her senior year has in store for her.
