    Emily is a really common name, but it's my name. It means hard working. My mother didn't pick my name for any specific reason, she just liked it and thought it was pretty. To be honest, I don't mean to be a bane, but I think it sounds like a name a little girl would have.
    My middle name is Elizabeth. Yes, if you put my first and middle name together it's Emily Elizabeth like the little girl in Clifford the Big Red Dog. Elizabeth isn't as common as the name Emily, but it's still pretty common. Elizabeth transfers to the Hebrew name 'Elishava' meaning "Gods promise" or "Oath of God". I really like the meaning of it.

Number One Rule

My number one rule is one person talks at a time. I feel it is very annoying when you're trying to say something or listen to someone talk and someone talks over you or the person. When you're in a classroom or just in a general conversation you want to hear the person that is talking to you. If other people are talking and yelling over each other you cannot do so. I believe this rule will make learning more effective because you can hear things the first time they are said without as many distractions.
