1) Tell us a little bit about yourself, your story and where you come from.

My name's Megan (probably noticed that before I said it...) and I'm a 20-going-on-21 year old registered nurse in a local ER (Yes, sometimes that startles my patients). I've been fortunate to grow up in a lovely Texas town with my parents and two younger brothers. Brother. We just moved my big little brother off to college and I'm trying to get used to the singular usage. Anyway, I've had a mixture of school experiences, from public school, private school, homeschooling, to dual enrollment and associate degree nursing. I lovelovelove learning and even though I'm working full time, I'm already eyeing my next goal...and mum's the word, haha.  

2) What are three things on your bucket list?

Three things on my bucket list...I'd like to travel. A lot. But that seems like too broad of a goal. I'd like to go on another medical mission trip, like the one I went on to Haiti this past spring. I'd like to sing in a choir again. That'd be fantastic. And the cello. It will happen. Oh! And learn another language. Or four. But I'd be happy just to be bilingual. 

  

3) What are you currently reading/watching/listening to?

I'm currently reading In the Land of Invisible Women...The Gifts of Imperfection...The House at Riverton...Persuasion...and Romans. I'm all over the place when it comes to books. 

I don't really watch TV and movie-wise, I'm happy just re-watching old favorites. 

Listening to Sara Bareilles, The Civil Wars, Norah Jones, The Lumineers, and a bunch of singles that I find highly attractive. I'll admit though, Hans Zimmer's Pearl Harbor has been playing in my car since January and that soundtrack Never. Gets. Old. Huge fan of movie soundtracks. Carrying on. ..

4) How do you want to be remembered? 

That's tough. I'd like to be remembered as someone who truly cherished life and the little blessings that God is so faithful to plant at all of those critical moments. Joyful. Compassionate. Not perfect. No one ever is and those who appear to be are the ones who are the most fearful. I want to be remembered as fearless.

 

5) Share some advice that has positively impacted your life. Who gave it to you?  

I was talking with an adviser last fall about school plans and my concerns for how old I'd be if I graduated medical school (sounds dumb, but I really was concerned). She just looked at me and said, "You're going to be thirty anyway, why not be thirty and a doctor?" And that was kind of like a slap to the face. Yeah. I'm going to be thirty anyway. So you might as well chase that dream. God's going to be there every step of the way to thirty, forty, and one-hundred. So buckle in and love the journey.

6) What would you say is your favourite album of all time?

Ahhhhhhhh...I don't even think I can answer that. Unless we're talking musicals. Then again, I still couldn't answer because there are too many. Ha. So I'll settle for Barton Hollow. 

 

  

7) If you could tell the whole world one thing, what would it be?

 Shema Yisrael. Adonai Eloheynu. Adonai Echad.
