Well, hello there! I'm Brittany Arkerson, a caring, fun, hardworking teenager. My family, friends, and schoolwork come first, but I do know how to have fun! I am down to earth, and I try to make the world around me a little better each day. My dream is to become a reproductive endocrinologist. It has been my passion from the time I learned I was born through in vitro fertilization, due to my mother's infertility. I feel that my tenacity and passion for the field will allow me to reach my dreams, not just my GPA or my future MCAT score.
