All about me...
Hi there, I'm Meghan. Meghan spelled with an "H." I am about to graduate from the University of Illinois with a degree in History and Secondary Education. I am a native of central Illinois and I love the area, but I also like to go new places and see new things. I love to learn about new places so naturally History has become a love of mine.
Even as a young girl I wanted to become a teacher. In grade school, I can remember drawing a picture of my "grown up" self in fifth grade and it was of course of me in front of a chalkboard. I love researching and reading biographies and nonfiction as well as historical fiction. The Hiding Place by Corrie ten Boom, To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee and Persuasion by Jane Austen are all favorite books of mine. This of course is an interesting mix of books, but the study of human rights has become a passion of mine whether I am studying the American Civil Rights Movement or the Holocaust, I want to know it all so I can communicate how actions of the past still affect us today and our actions good or bad today will affect our future. I believe it is of extreme importance to teach consequences through history for our students today. For me it is about a stories that we can learn from.
