A Day in the Life - Morgan Sherwood

Hello! My name is Morgan Sherwood. If I were to describe myself to someone else, I would say that I am dependable and responsible. I spend a typical day going to classes, doing homework, hanging out with my friends here at school, and then hopefully having some time to watch Netflix or draw before bed. My favorite food is chocolate covered pretzels, and if those aren’t considered candy, my favorite candy is Sprees. Some of my hobbies and interests include drawing, watching and playing sports, the outdoors (hiking, camping, …), traveling, and the various community service projects I find. I am strong. I wish there weren’t illnesses that could strip someone of their abilities (such as ALS). One thing that scares me the most is how unknown the future is and how fast everything is changing right now.

A little about my family: I have two younger brothers, Jonny (age 15) and Joey (age 14), and a younger sister, Maddy (age 18). I also have a mom and a dad. My family is extremely close-knit and supportive. . We live in a small farm town called Newark Valley that is about 30 minutes outside of Binghamton. Newark Valley has a small grocery store, a pizza place, a dollar store, and a school, but we are about 25-30 minutes away from most department stores in pretty much any direction. We all live in a house that my family and I built ourselves. For that reason, we were able to create something big enough that all of us could live in comfortably and also afford. The main floor has a kitchen, dining area, living room, bathroom, family room, and foyer. The second floor has four bedrooms and two bathrooms. We also have a finished basement that has a bathroom, small weight room, living space, and recently my brothers built a closed off portion for my new bedroom (since my brother took over my previous bedroom the day after I left for college). My home is fun because we host most of the team bonding events and other various events for our family and sports teams. To get around, my family uses a car. My mom has one, my dad has one, and my sister and I each have one as well.
