“Study while others are sleeping; work while others are loafing; prepare while others are playing; and dream while others are wishing.” - William Arthur Ward
Hi there! Welcome to my site. I am glad you stopped by. My name is Meredith Huntley; I am 28 years old, currently living in Charlotte, NC. I graduated from the Medical Sonography Program at South Piedmont Community College in 2016. I am passionate about my Christian walk, living life to the fullest, working hard, and keeping a positive outlook. I originally found interest in sonography when I began to seek out options in the medical field and received a brochure for the Medical Sonography Program at SPCC in the mail.
I grew up on 12 acres with horses, a few dogs, and more cats than you could count right outside of Charlotte, NC. I am one of five girls, so growing up my life was never short of drama! I was homeschooled through highschool by my mother. Upon graduating from highschool, I took my first job as a secretary for a family business. After 5 years of administrative work, I began to find myself looking for my next challenge, so that is where I began my search into the medical field. I am excited to watch my dreams of becoming a sonographer become a reality.
Life for me is very busy, but I like it that way. I enjoy hard work and a good challenge. Working hard to stay organized, learn new things, as well as being successful is a challenge I enjoy tackling. I am a dedicated student and employee, working hard to achieve success in whatever the task may be. I am a visual learner who enjoys "hands-on" work, so I feel that sonography is a great field for me.
In my spare time I enjoy yoga, working out at 9round Dilworth, Saturdays catching up on TV shows, hiking, spending time outdoors, shopping, and hanging out with friends and family.
My plan after graduating from the Medical Sonography program is to first become a successful sonographer. I plan to be a diligent and dependable employee, working my way up the ladder and in the future continuing my career by pursuing my passion of pregnancy, children, and helping others by becoming a sonographer for a high-risk pregnancy center. I know that my future is going to take lots of hard work and dedication and I am more than ready for the challenge!

Become a blogger. Not positive of what exactly I would like to blog about most. To list a few ideas; personal (my journey), inspirational, or maybe even a fashion blog.
Setting goals has been a pattern throughout my life not only with school and work, but also in my personal life. These goals helped me during my time at SPCC as I went from a small seed into a beautiful blooming flower. I really like the challenge of dreaming up new ideas and goals as well as the process to achieving them. Something about setting a goal and then achieving it is both rewarding and freeing.
