My name is Morgan Wiseman, I grew up in Madison SD, I currently live in Sioux Falls SD. I am a Neurodiagnostic tech at Sanford hospital here in Sioux Falls where I work days, nights, and take call. I grew up on a farm outside of Madison with my younger brother, sister, mom, and step dad. I also spent a lot of time in Sioux Falls growing up as a kid because my dad, step mom, and step brother live in Sioux Falls. I love spending time with my family, boyfriend, and friends. As a family we do a lot of activities together such as concerts, going to bull riding shows, dinner, playing the card game phase ten, ice skating, and going to movies.

Like most people I try to live a healthy life style in which for one day when I am old I don't want to be on a lot of medications or develop any diseases. I try to eat somewhat healthy and get a little exercise in each week.

I have fairly young parents and grandparents, as my parents had me in their very early 20's. My mom and dad both do not have any diseases. My grandparents are also healthy for the most part. On my padlet I will talk about My grate grandmother, uncle, cousin, and grandfather since my parents do not have any diseases.
