Emily Sterner

People's Choice Award

1. What kind of BARBIE do you think you’d be?
My favorite word is ambition because the word itself is motivational. We all need ambition to get to where we need to be, but more importantly to where we want to be.

2. What’s the weirdest item you keep by your bed?
My beauty secret would be that I drink soda very rarely. Caffeine dulls the skin so I try to keep my skin looking bright by drinking plain water.

3. What cartoon character do you relate to the most and why?
I take most pride in my choice to enter the nursing profession. I believe that it takes a confident and caring person to pursue any type of healthcare career.

4. Would you time travel to the past or future?
My favorite day of the week is Wednesday because you have half of the week to look forward to, but it is reassuring to know that you have already accomplished the first half.

5. How would your parents describe your personality?
My good luck charm would be the bracelet that a good friend gave to me for my 16th birthday. It reminds me of how I should value and be grateful for true friendships.
