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.
