“When I thought about becoming a counselor, I [thought about how I] really enjoyed working with kids my whole life. So I thought, ‘How can I make that into a career and take it to the next level?’” said Ms. Morgan Myers.
Morgan Myers is 28 years old, and was born and raised in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. She has lived in Lancaster most of her life, but has also spent time in Florida and Kutztown.
Myers went to Hempfield from elementary all the way up to senior year of high school. She went to Kutztown for her undergraduate degree in Psychology and then West Chester University for her degree in School Counseling.
Myers first became a counselor in 2020 for a virtual academy called the 21st Century Cyber Charter School. She was a counselor there for only a year before coming to CVHS.
When the topic of why she became a counselor arose, Myers noted, “It’s because I enjoy working with youth and because I genuinely care about people and want to see them be successful, happy and see their full potential!”
Myers recently started running in June, 2023. It is now one of her new favorite hobbies. She finished her first half marathon in November.
Myers said that the outcome of running that race was “believing in myself, showing myself that I’m able to do something that extravagant. That was my biggest memory this year so far.”
While running races is new for her, Myers was a very active child. sh participated in multiple sports, such as swimming, baton, cheerleading, and lacrosse. Lacrosse is what she decided to play throughout middle school and high school.
When asked about her taste in music, she said, “My most listened-to genre is alternative. When I think alternative I think of Mumford and Sons, Maggie Rogers, Lorde, and some other more indie/pop artists…I do like Kanye [too].”
Myers described her goals for next year as “continuing to run, just because of how much it’s helped my mental health and my physical health at the same time.
“Yeah. Yeah, that’s my goal,” said Myers. “Keep running and be happy.”
