Hi everyone, I'm Emily Shock. I have a youtube site under the name of faysweeper where I have a contest running called Show You Tube You Can Dance. A fellow blogger, Mr. Matthew Neff, introduced the contest on this site and changed my world. Thank you Mr. Neff!!

And now.
Here we are.
The dream we've all dreamed of.
We are down to the final 2.
I am so excited.

them charming and talented. witty. and sincere.

us to take the time to learn from one another.  It has been such
a wonderful and inspiring experience for me. Thank you so much!!

Emily Shock.
