Morgan’s teachers stated that Morgan is “an absolute pleasure to have in class. She is always respectful, hardworking, quietly hilarious, supportive of her peers, competitive, and holds herself to very high standards. She is always the first person willing to help, is kind and patient with new students, takes care of all of her school work and knows how to make people around her relax and have fun.”
Another teacher stated that “Morgan is patient, kind and supportive and demonstrates a level of compassion and thoughtfulness often not seen in students her age. Moran is always up for a challenge and is conscientious about the quality of her work.”
Morgan told the Optimist Club members that she “plans on studying in the medical field when she graduates from high school. This may lead to her becoming a doctor in a specific area.” She has not made a complete decision about that being a freshman in high school.
