The
Story
of
My
Name My
name
is
Emily
and
it
means
"industrious"
or
"striving"
in
Old
German.
It
was
my
great-grandmother's
name,
and
my
parents
chose
it
as
a
tribute
to
her. Growing
up,
I
found
my
name
to
be
simple
and
easy
to
remember,
but
as
I
got
older,
I
started
to
appreciate
the
meaning
and
history
behind
it.
I
realized
that
my
great-grandmother
had
embodied
the
qualities
of
hard
work
and
perseverance
that
were
associated
with
my
name. I
often
wondered
about
her
life
and
what
kind
of
person
she
was.
My
grandmother
told
me
stories
of
how
she
used
to
knit
sweaters
and
socks
for
her
family,
and
how
she
tended
to
her
garden
every
day
without
fail.
She
was
a
true
example
of
a
strong
and
determined
woman,
someone
who
never
gave
up,
even
in
the
face
of

I
grew
older,
I
tried
to
live
up
to
the
meaning
behind
my
name.
I
worked
hard
in
school
and
tried
to
be
the
best
I
could
be
in
everything
I
did.
I
never
forgot
the
legacy
of
my
great-grandmother,
and
I
strived
to
make
her
proud. Now
as
an
adult,
I
look
back
fondly
on
the
meaning
behind
my
name.
It
reminds
me
to
keep
pushing
forward
in
life,
even
in
difficult
times.
I
am
grateful
to
have
a
name
with
such
a
rich
history
and
legacy,
and
I
hope
to
continue
embodying
the
qualities
that
my
great-grandmother
showed
throughout
her
life.
