A little bit about Meagan:
"When I was growing up I had a few close friends, but I always knew something was different. When I was back in NH in 4th grade I got diagnosed. I hated the rest of school. I played flute in 5th and 6th and then switched to clarinet the summer before 7th grade and played it until the summer before my senior year of night school. Middle school was absolutely awful because I had no friends. When I got to high school I still hated it, but because the school insisted that I have a 1:1 para, which I hated. The summer before my senior year of high school I switched to bass clarinet. Since then I taught myself oboe and saxophone. I went to college and struggled greatly. There was one staff member the disability coordinator who didn’t understand Aspergers and thought my behaviors were dangerous, so I got kicked out. I spent the time at a community college and I hated it even more. I got re accepted to my original college and studied CIS. Though out college I was playing in several different ensembles. I graduated from college and continued playing in community ensembles while looking for a job. I finally got a summer job working as a paraprofessional. Through this job I rediscovered my love for working with students with disabilities and applied for a full time job at Crotched Mountain, where I worked for almost 2 years. Throughout this time I added a contra alto clarinet to my collection of instruments. I have currently accepted a job at a public school, which I’m currently incredibly anxious for!"
