Morgan Hocking Biography Essay

Morgan Hocking was born December 13, 1997. She was originally born in Crawfordsville Indiana, but at the age of 14 she moved to another city that is twenty minutes outside of Crawfordsville, Ladoga. Someone who she admires the most is her mother. She admires her mother because she views her as strong. Morgan’s parents divorced when she was six years old. Hocking’s father is frequently in and out of jail, which left her mother to raise two children by herself. Morgan Hocking is a freshman here at Indiana State University. She works for the residential life; I believe this is interesting because majority of the residential life workers I’ve met so far are sophomores or upperclassmen. Morgan’s job mainly consists of working the desk, sorting mail,
placing package slips inside of residents’ mail boxes, and releasing packages to the residents as well. Sometimes, she even has to search for residents mail box numbers if the package does not indicate it. Nonetheless, Morgan seems to love every detail of her job and it is very apparent. Morgan would describe herself as very social and outgoing, and I believe this coincides perfectly with her job and her major. Additionally, I think she is very friendly and this is a good quality that can help her and take her far in her career. Hocking chose to major in speech language pathology, which is the study and treatment of speech and language problems. Morgan originally aspired to be a counselor, but she decided to change her mind based off of the advice of a long time mentor telling her that is was prominent it was a field that she was not too passionate about. She now envisions herself working in a school setting, hospital, or rehab center in the future. Although, Indiana State University was Morgan’s third choice, she decided to attend the school because of the many different scholarships that were offered to her.
Morgan is currently not involved in any extracurricular activities on campus, however, she was very involved in high school. She was on her high school’s varsity cheerleading team and the captain of her show choir. Currently, Hocking chooses to spend her free time playing board games, hanging out with friends, or studying. In light of volunteer work, Morgan has not found any opportunities which sparked her interest. However, she has contacted the Crisis Pregnancy Center to see if there’s any way that she can help. Her goal is really to work with younger children, babies to be exact. Previously, in her hometown, she did volunteer work with a youth cheerleading program. Morgan’s main responsibility with the youth cheerleading program was to act as a coach figure and also help them with routines. As far as political views, Morgan is a registered democrat and she was upset about the outcome of the election. However, she felt that if either candidate won the country would be in need of serious hope and prayer. Hocking voices that her main issue with America is the lack of equality and tolerance for one
another. She basically feels as if there is unnecessarily too much hate and bickering among citizens due to racial differences. Morgan seems to wish that everyone could just learn to get along, accept and appreciate each other’s differences, and let go of all of the stereotypes that have been circulating in our country for decades. I completely agree with Morgan’s opinion and I truly would love to see the same for our country. Additionally, I would love to see the long awaited equality and justice for African Americans.
