Megan Riesner - Top Ten

1.If you could make one rule that everyone in the world had to follow, what would it be?
I love the sound of rain as it taps against my window. The sound of rain drops is extremely calming and it leads me to believe that heaven is sending me a message from my guardian angels looking down on me.

2.If you could have any superpower, what would it be?
I am lucky to have been touched with multiple talents but one talent I have always aspired to be is a soccer player. Although I am agile in the sense of dance, the ball and my foot usually do not connect.

3.When do you feel a child or teen becomes an adult?
My devotion to helping others has given me insight into my future. Becoming involved with fundraising to support Children's Cancer Fund, a cause close to my heart, has sculpted me into the individual I am today. I believe giving back is a habit everyone should carry!!

4.What do you feel you have learned in life that will be the most useful?
I believe in the common saying, “We learn from our mistakes.” I turn my mistakes into motivation to make things right for the next situation I am faced with. I do not regret my mistakes, because if I hadn’t made them I would not know how to make things better.

5.What do you feel is the hardest job in the world and why?
Lemons!! Lemons are my absolute favorite flavor. I love lemon on my bagels for breakfast, an enriched lemon sauce in my pasta and salad for lunch, and chicken piccata for dinner! I think it is a great enhancer in just about any dish!
