Since the accident, Megan
threw herself into academic work
and extracurricular activities. Besides knowing from a young age
about her desire to pursue medicine, and the distraction school
offered from the reality of her
situation, Megan wanted to honor
her father’s memory.
“He was really smart,” she said
of her father, an anesthesiologist
who spoke numerous languages
enjoyed recreational flying. “I
wanted to make him proud and focus on school and be successful.”
GREATEST PERSON
OF THE WEEK
After two consecutive years
interning, first at a hospital and
then at U.S. Senator Debbie Stabenow’s office, four years on student council, being president of
the varsity tennis team, and an active in volunteer with her former
high school’s Key Club, Megan
looks forward to new experiences
and at Harvard. While pursuing
her majors in biology and human
evolution, she hopes to continue
volunteering, maybe play some intramural tennis, and join the PreMedical Society.
“Despite tragedy you can still
be happy and triumph
over it.”
