Tell us a bit about yourself.
My name is Meghan and I’m 38 years old. I live in my home in Melbourne with my housemate Isobel. I work at an op shop on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday. I also like going out and meeting my friends at Escapades (a Milparinka-run activities program). My favourite things to do are going bowling, swimming and picnics. I love fashion, and my support worker Milly and I are going to cut and change some of my t-shirts.
Recently, you took part in a photo shoot for the Summer Foundation. What was the experience like for you? Did you have fun?
Yes I liked it – I want to do it again next year. It was fun pretending and I liked having photos at my work, the op shop. The op shop workers were excited.
Was anything hard or tricky during the photo shoot? How did you handle it?
It was a bit tricky when I was holding the glasses and crockery waiting for the photos to be taken. I was pleased I didn’t break anything. It was good to show how to use the pricing gun.
The photos look great! How was it working with the photographer and videographer?
Fantastic, it was a good experience. Yes, it was fun, they were all nice people.
Do you like how the photos turned out? How do they make you feel?
Yes, I liked Milly my support worker walking with me, that was my favourite photo.
I felt fantastic seeing the photos, I did a good job. I like the photos and people can see what my life is like.
