Class of 2016: Emily Siefken




Emily Siefken (West Burlington High School IA)

1. What has been your proudest achievement so far?
My proudest achievement would have to be breaking the school rebound record by 110 rebounds, especially at my height, winning the school’s first conference championship in 30 years and playing in a state softball championship game.

2. What do you expect to be doing ten years from now?
In 10 years, I’m hoping to be teaching elementary P.E. and coaching basketball at a smaller school in Iowa or Illinois and hopefully be married.

3. How do you define “success?”
I would have to define success as someone who works hard and is dedicated to achieving their own goals. If you are happy with your life and what you are doing with it, then you will be successful.

4. How would you describe yourself to someone who did not know you?
I would describe myself as someone who is very dedicated and someone who works hard to get what I want. I would say I’m sort of quiet at the beginning, but I will open up and be outgoing once I get to know people. I like learning new things and I like to help people whenever possible.

5. If you could talk with any one living (or deceased) person, whom would it be and why?
If I could talk to any one person it would have to be Kim Mulkey, head women’s basketball coach at Baylor. She seems very passionate about what she does and is very successful.

6. What about you is unique?
I’m ambidextrous (both handedness) and I will usually always have smile on my face. It runs in the family

7. What do you want to get out of your college experience?
In college, I not only want to be successful on the court, but also in the classroom. I want to get a good education that will help me in the future and develop into a more well-rounded person and basketball player. I also want to partake in many campus activities and meet many new people! I’m very excited to be joining Monmouth College this fall!
