Emma has faced more challenges in her young life than most people do in a lifetime. Growing up in a tough environment, she’s had to learn to take care of herself and stay strong through situations that could have easily broken her spirit. But if you ask anyone who knows her, they’ll tell you Emma doesn’t let hardship define her; she lets it inspire her. Through every setback, Emma has found a way to see the good. She believes that even on hard days, there’s always something to be grateful for, a kind word, a smile, or a batch of freshly baked cookies. Baking has become her outlet and her joy. From mixing dough to decorating cupcakes, Emma pours her heart into every creation. Her dream is to one day open her own bakery, a place where people can feel the same warmth and happiness she finds in baking.

Emma wishes for an Apple Watch for Christmas because it would help her succeed in both sports and school, two things she is passionate about. She loves running and staying active, and an Apple Watch would let her track her steps, distance, and pace to help her improve and stay motivated. Seeing her progress each day would make her even more excited to reach her athletic goals. In school, the Apple Watch would help Emma stay organized by keeping track of time, reminders, and her daily schedule. Having these tools right on her wrist would make her school days easier and help her stay focused on her responsibilities.
