Hello,

 

My name is Addi Ernstmeyer. I am and have been a Lincoln resident my whole entire life. I attended Messiah Lutheran Church and School for pre-school and all of my elementary years, and then began school at Lincoln Lutheran MS/HS. I am currently a junior at Lincoln Lutheran.

 

My dad, Scott Ernstmeyer, currently serves as the Executive Director at Lincoln Lutheran. My mom, Sara Ernstmeyer, holds a part time job at Home Instead, occasionally cleans apartments, takes care of our lovely home, and works part-time at Khols. I have two sisters, Kayla and Jordan Ernstmeyer. Jordan is a freshman and plays volleyball, basketball, soccer, and sings in the choir. Kayla is currently a sophomore at Concordia University in Seward, NE, where she plays volleyball for the Bulldogs.

 

Most of my role models are family members. Kayla is one of them. She works hard at everything, whether it be for sports or school, and always has a good attitude. She is also very funny and kind. She is one of the reasons why I decided to play volleyball. I do enjoy it, but it’s not my favorite and it takes away time in the Fall Season for me to play my favorite sport, soccer.

 

I have played since First Grade and I love everything about the sport. I also play basketball, which is kind of tradition among the Ernstmeyer girls. My dad used to play, and had a great couple of seasons at Concordia where he also attended college. His love for basketball carried on to his coaching days. He coached my previous basketball team starting from Second Grade and ending with a great season that concluded with a run at Nationals in my Eighth Grade year. 

 

When I get the chance, I soak up as much free time as possible. Being a three sport athlete is amazing and I wouldn’t trade it for the world, but it can be exhausting. When I’m not at sports practice or working on homework, I typically relax by watching Netflix or YouTube. When I have a little extra time I will pick up a book (I am currently reading Little Women by Louisa May Alcott), draw, or write.

 

I have many favorite actors and actresses, but my two favorites are Emma Watson and Colin O’Donoghue. I love music, whether it be Classic Rock or Country, all genres sound different and unique and I enjoy listening to lots of songs. My favorite genre to listen to as of the moment is Folk/Indie Pop. I’ve recently gotten into Hozier and I enjoy his soothing voice as well as the pictures he paints with his lyrics. This concludes my About The Author page 🙂

 

Sincerely,
