In the fourth grade, Emma was first introduced to a fresh and fun boyband named One Direction. She immediately attached herself to the band and began to delve into the depths of the fandoms. One year later, she was downright obsessed; she began to cover her room top to bottom with their posters, buy their merchandise, and spread her love of the band to her other classmates. By 2013, she had acquired 4 walls filled with posters, the promise of a concert, tickets to their documentary, This is Us, and a heart filled with love. Although every adult in Emma’s life was certain this was another phase of hers, her dedication continued throughout the years and remains to this day. Her dedication and emotional involvement has been consistent for over 6 years now. In the time she has admired One Direction, a child was born, learned to walk, talk, go to the bathroom, and has enrolled and is currently attending Kindergarten. She has been patient for over half a decade, waiting to meet them and never having the opportunity. However, a recent opportunity sprang up for none other than her long-time favorite of the band, Niall Horan. Niall Horan has released a tour this fall, which Emma will be attending, but…show more content… Horan’s meet and greet tickets are immensely cheaper than the bands’ previous VIP packages, which sold from $5,000 to $10,000. The current price of this exclusive package are $400, including a seat within the first five rows, a viewing of the artist’s soundcheck, and merchandise. Normally, all of that combined would be well over $500. Now, by all means, $500 is not pocket change. Be that as it may, Zachary Hercher has received an $800 gift of a computer once from his parental figures. Emma would prefer to have experiences and memories rather than a material object (like a computer) to sit on her desk. She is fully prepared to help pay a fraction of the ticket back once she comes across a job opportunity and willing to accept this as her one and only Christmas
