More on Emily Peterson
Hello, my name is Emily Amelia Peterson. I’m 10 years old. I have a love for singing, which means I cannot go more than 5 minutes without singing or humming a tune. My love for music started at a very early age when there was some rocky times. Singing has helped me through those challenging times in my life. I have lots of siblings, 11 brothers and sisters in fact! I have lived in Higginsville since I was 5 years old and moved from California.
All I have ever wanted to be is a singer. When I sing it makes me feel free and it fills my heart with joy. I love God, my family and my friends. Not a day goes by that I am not grateful for the gift of music. I welcome everyone to come hear me sing on Saturday morning at the Country Fair.
