Emma Zawacki

Emma Zawacki, Editor in Chief

Emma is a senior and is starting her third and final year writing for The Central Trend. She spends most of her free time in the passenger seat of a friend's car or writing stories for this site. She strives for her stories to make people feel the way love songs and late summer nights do. She looks forward to spending her last year of high school on the brown couch that lives in room 139/140 with some of her closest friends.

 

Favorite stories to write: Her favorite types of stories to write are columns and poems because she enjoys expressing her emotions in eloquent ways.

 

Starbucks order: Iced Vanilla Latte or a Chai Tea Latte.

 

Favorite place: Her family's cottage up north on Big Star Lake. She has spent many summer days surrounded by cousins and making memories. She and her family make it a point every year to participate in the lake's annual boat parade.
