About Me
My name is Emily Bender, and I am from Cleveland, Ohio. I love Ohio and have lived in the Cleveland area my entire life prior to coming to BYU. Not only was one of the greatest movies made in Cleveland, that being A Christmas Story, but Kirtland is also just a short drive away.
In terms of family, I am the third of four girls. With the exception of numerous blown fuses from too many blow dyers being used at once, I quite love having all sisters. My oldest sister, Sarah, graduated from BYU in 2003 and was recently married. My second oldest sister, Robin, is recently returned from a mission to the Philippines. Finally, my youngest sister, Lee-Ann, is in the eight grade and is an amazing kid.
One of my favorite hobbies is shooting. Having all girls was not going to stop my dad from sharing a few of his favorite hobbies with us! Tennis is another favorite, although I am not very good. I am also a huge movie fan. I love all types of movies except scary/gory ones. Finally, I love the outdoors and look forward to the summers when I get to go home and work at the Zoo.
Overall, I am glad to be at BYU and cannot wait to become a math teacher. Finally having the end in sight and knowing that I will soon be graduating is very exciting.
