The idea of “drugs and alcohol in high school” immediately raises a red flag for many, but for senior Kylie Morgan, it has opened several doors.

As a sophomore, Morgan joined the Night Vision Club, a branch of Medical Career Club. The club “trains a select group of students to present information about healthy lifestyle choices to Catholic grade school students,” according to a description on bishopkenny.org.

As senior class president and co-president of the Night Vision Club, Morgan hopes that her leadership will be influential on her fellow classmates and future students.

This is one of the concepts that the club presents to the grade school students. Finding your “natural high” is discovering things that make you feel happy and fulfilled outside of drugs and alcohol usage.

For Morgan, her natural highs are playing soccer, time with friends, and shopping.

This experience has directed Morgan’s intended career path to the medical field as a Physician’s Assistant, with specific studies in nutritional sciences. Although she does not intend to specifically study drug usage, her goal is to promote healthy habits and lifestyle choices for young children.

“The things we eat and personal health determine how healthy we are when we’re older,” Morgan said.

Her intention is to assist with the rising issue of childhood obesity and eating disorders. By studying nutrition, she will use this knowledge to help children develop comfortable and healthy eating habits.

Medical school is notoriously long, so Morgan wants to step into the workforce as soon as possible.

“I think I want to be a PA,” Morgan said. “I want to help people and get hands-on work, but also not have to go to school for too long to be a doctor.”
