The Friday of September 19th was quite warm for fall, but it was a great start to the weekend.
I was so eager to meet up with Morgan and her family. We met at the Quarry Hill Nature Center in Rochester, MN and let me just say, what a cool place! There were a lot of trails, we could’ve explored the place all afternoon.
We we ended up walking around the pond and then we made our way around some trails where we found an interesting brick wall, some stairways and the stream.
After graduation, Morgan plans on attending Minnesota State University to attain her Bachelor’s in Social Work. She mentioned that she’s done some job shadowing and was really interested in the field. In 10 years, she hopes to be working as a social worker in the Rochester area.
If I can offer any advice to future graduates who are reading, high school or otherwise, I would say that if you aren’t sure what you want to do, get out there and explore every option. There is something for everyone.
Morgan says she looks up to her Bonus Mom, Kelly, as she has taught her more than anyone how to be a good person. There can never be too much kindness in this world. It never hurts to show a little more compassion, understanding, and grace to others.
Morgan participated in the school year book, and is now undertaking post secondary education during her Senior Year. She is also an avid photographer, dressing up her sisters and doing photoshoots! I can obviously relate to this! Photography has a way of bringing people together.
Life after high school is rarely easy, but knowing where you want to go and having people who are willing to push you to achieve your goals make all the difference. Morgan has an awesome adventure in front of her and a great family to help her along the way. Morgan — Enjoy your senior year and best wishes to you!
