I just met Megan this week, which is surprising because she is roommates with my good friend Ashley. We also just made the connection that Megan's brother went to my high school, Albany Academy, in Albany, New York. Megan is a very talented young woman, and she has given wonderful contributions to the Odyssey at HWS during her short writing career. That said, I wrote this piece so that the readers could get to know Megan the same way I did!
Q: So, Megan, where is your hometown?
A: I am from a small town called Bridgewater, Connecticut, with a population of 1,700, you could say it's a small town.
Q: Why do you like to write for the Odyssey?
A: It's been fun so far. I like to write, and the Odyssey keeps me writing something new every week!
Q: What is your major/minor at HWS?
A: I'm majoring in English, and minoring in writing and rhetoric, so the Odyssey serves as a great writing portfolio.
Q: Since you like English so much, what is your favorite book?
A: Nineteen Minutes, by Jodi Picoult
Q: What has been your favorite class you have taken thus far at HWS?
A: Probably Jamaican Dance with Kelly Johnson. I wrote a piece about it back in September for the Odyssey!
Q: What do you like to write about most?
A: I'm still figuring it out, which is part of the reason I wanted to write for the Odyssey. I hope to write a novel someday, and although I don't know what it will be about, it should be a fun experience!
Q: What is your favorite style to write in?
A: I enjoy free-writing about my opinions. Op-eds and other pieces like that interest me a lot, and I get to do a lot of that for the Odyssey!
Q: It seems you are always writing, but when you aren't, where is your favorite vacation spot?
A: I love going to my grandparents' house in Silver Lake, New Hampshire. The house sits on the lake and the view is absolutely gorgeous.
Q: What is an interesting fact that your readers don't know about you?
A: I am 1/8 Puerto Rican, but you would probably never notice!
