Emily Laszczak Emily is a WPCAS volunteer and was a 2018 bachelorette. She is also an accounting assistant at Karen S. Walton, CPA. PCT: What do you do to decompress? EL: I volunteer at the Weatherford Parker County Animal Shelter. While it can be stressful, it’s my happy place. PCT: What is something many people don’t know about you? EL: I read a lot. I usually read at least 1-2 novels a week. I also go to a ton of concerts. PCT: What would you most like to be remembered for? EL: Being selfless and helping others as much as humanly possible. And of course, being funny. Parker County Today: What is your favorite novel? EL: As much as I read and love sus- pense novels, memoirs, and historical fiction, Harry Potter will always hold a very special place in my heart, and has since I was very little. PCT: What’s your favorite way to pay it forward? EL: I love surprising people with little gifts to tell them how much they mean to me, or how much I appreci- ate them. PCT: If you could have lunch with anyone, living or dead in history, who would it be? EL: Lucille Ball. I need a good laugh. Or, Zac Efron. PCT: If you had to do another job other than what you’re doing, what would you do? EL: I would love to be a wild life rehabber, working with strange and exotic animals, and helping them get back to health before releasing them back into the wild. PCT: What is your definition of the best day ever? EL: Having breakfast with my parents, spending all day at a musical festival with friends, and then coming home to a litter of cute puppies in my living room. PCT: What’s the best piece of advice you would give? EL: Take the opportunity to do fun things. Take the trip, go to the con- cert, make all the memories. PCT: What is the coolest thing you have done in your life? EL: Definitely participating in PCT’s 2018 Bachelorette, hosting a ton of insanely fun fundraisers, and raising money for my animal shelter.
