About Me
Hi! My name is Mira Atkinson. I am a student at Marquette University majoring in Physiology and minoring in Spanish. With my major I want to go to Physician's Assistant school to become a PA. I am originally from a town in Illinois called Grayslake. At home in Grayslake I have 2 little brothers, Ryan and Kevin, my mom and dad and our dog Riley. Riley is a 7 year old cockapoo. My hobbies are running and photography. I have been into long distance running and sprinting since I was a 5th grader in middle school. Since then I have ran on cross country teams throughout middle school and high school. In August of 2019 I ran my first half marathon with my mom in Madison, Wisconsin. Now I have goals of running more half marathons and tackling the Chicago marathon in 2020. Miralex0209 (talk) 01:52, 1 February 2020 (UTC)



Fun Facts
Everyone always has some fun facts about themselves that other's would never be able to guess. For myself, I am half Mexican and fluent in Spanish. My mother was born in Mexico City and lived there till she moved to the United States when she met my dad. When I was born, I was only spoken to in Spanish and then later English.

Like many I am also a fan of traveling and exploring new countries and their cultures. I have been to Australia, New Zealand, and Mexico. One of my many dreams is to travel to Greece, Portugal, and Italy.

My last fun fact I previously attended Iowa State University for my freshmen year of college. There I studied Biology and Spanish until I transferred to Marquette University in the fall of 2018. Many people ask why I decided to transfer and my answer is because I previously was on a pre-medical track for Medical school until I realized that was not what I wanted to do. I still wanted to be involved in the medical field and the career of being a Physician's Assistant was more appealing. Iowa State did not have a program for that but Marquette did so I decided it would be best for my future to transfer to a school that could offer me the best for my future. Since transferring I haven't looked back and have fallen in love with Marquette University.Miralex0209 (talk) 01:48, 1 February 2020 (UTC)
