Introduction

Hello everyone and welcome to my blog!

My name is Megan Keetch and I am 24 years old. I currently live in Orem, UT and grew up in Pleasant Grove, UT which is just 20 minutes North of where I live now. I have been married to my husband for 2 1/2 years and we both are graduating soon! We met when we were in the 7th grade and started "dating" our Junior year of High School. Both of our parents also went to High School together and live about 5 minutes away from each other. I guess you could say, the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree.

I currently work as a medical assistant to an orthopedic surgeon and I love anything medical. My job duties include rooming patients, obtaining vitals, calling in prescriptions, taking messages, ordering labs, MRI's, and scheduling surgeries. Prior to my current job I worked in physical therapy where I enjoyed rehabbing athletes and post surgical patients. I am a certified personal trainer and spent a lot of time training high school soccer players. After graduation I plan on applying to PA school to continue working in the field I love.

You might be wondering why someone like me is taking this class? Well, what you don't know is, I LOVE sports. I grew up playing all sorts of sports. From softball to gymnastics, soccer was my absolute favorite. I played competitive soccer all growing up and actually played two years here at SUU. I quit after my sophomore year to move back home and get married and not once have I looked back and regretted my decision. I grew up always wanting to play collegiate soccer and I did. I crossed it off my bucket list and moved on to bigger and better things.

After those two years of division one soccer and after two different ACL surgeries, I can officially say I am "retired" from playing soccer. I now just enjoy playing all sorts of sports just for fun, no more competition. Except, let's be honest, I am a very competitive person and I don't think that will ever change.

Here on my blog you will find bits and pieces of sarcasm hidden throughout my application of theoretical concepts. I am generally a sassy person and sometimes it is hard for it not to come out in my writing. I promise I will stay professional and honest, but I can't promise I won't have a little bit of fun while doing it.

I am looking forward to this class, as I am not good at knowing who played what or where and which team is better than who, but I generally enjoy sports. I enjoy reading or watching them, and analyzing and exploring the issues that drive sports communication research sounds just my cup of tea.
