She will be attending the University of Western Ontario in September. She said that while she really enjoyed her years at King City Secondary School, it's time to move on. "I am really going to miss King," she commented. "However it's time to start a new chapter in my life." Meg said what she'll really miss the most about school, is being able to walk down the halls and seeing familiar faces. "All my friends were just a couple of classrooms away from me," she said. "I knew all my teachers and I didn't live too far from school." "I was actively involved in academics as well as sports," she added. "I was co-captain of the cheerleader team with my best friend Catherine Rowe, I was on the swim team and the Ultimate Frisbee team." Meg also has a twin brother Michael, who will be attending McMaster in the fall. "My parents are so proud of my brother and I for continuing in postsecondary education," she commented. Meg said she will be studying political science at Western, a four-year program. "I always like reporting, but law is also a possible career for me," she said. For the summer, Meg will be working at her cottage. Her parents run a recreational program through the Township of Cognashene. "I will be head of swimming. I will be teaching anybody between the ages of one to 14 how to swim," she commented. "It's very challenging but the most awarding experience." Meg would like to thank her family, friends and teachers for "challenging and believing in her. |
