Megan Grannan was born with pathology, a rare form of dwarfism. But this does not prevent her from living fully and achieving success in her favorite profession, writes the author of the Who and How? on the Yandex Zen.
Megan Grannan is a primary school teacher from the United States. On February 13, 2020, she turned 27 years old, and her height is only 99 centimeters, which is about 3 centimeters shorter than the height of an ordinary average 4-year-old girl.
Megan was born and lives in New Jersey. At birth, her height was 44 centimeters, and up to two and a half years, she practically did not differ from her peers.
But by the age of three, Megan's growth rate had slowed significantly, and soon it almost stopped at around 84 centimeters.

The girl's parents consulted specialists. After several months of observation, it became clear that Megan is unlikely to grow above 1 meter.
From 4 to 5 years old, the girl managed to grow by as much as 2 centimeters, but subsequent increases in growth over the year were much smaller.
Megan spent a lot of time with the children in the yard. Due to her small stature, kids have always taken her for “theirs”. Soon this affection grew into something more, and after graduating from high school, Megan entered the teacher training institute.
As a result, the girl became a qualified teacher. She got a job in one of the elementary schools in New Jersey.
Megan is significantly shorter than her students. Therefore, it is easy for them to consider her not only a teacher, but also their friend. Pupils often share with the teacher their thoughts, feelings, experiences.
Megan not only monitors the progress of schoolchildren, but also devotes a lot of time to extracurricular education. They all get together during the holidays and often walk around interesting places.
Despite her height, Megan lives a vibrant and eventful life. She travels a lot and prefers outdoor activities. But even in nature, the teacher does not forget about her pupils - she visits their pages on social networks, congratulates them on the holidays, and is interested in their affairs.
Megan moves mainly in a special vehicle, similar to a children's bicycle with a basket and a motor.
She buys food on her own and prepares dinner for her parents, in whose house she still lives.
Megan dreams of finding love and becoming a mom one day. In the meantime, she gives all of herself to the upbringing of her little students.
