Dr. Jennifer Arnold

Blog #1: Jennifer Arnold

The name of the person that I decided to choose for this blog is, Dr. Jennifer Arnold. I decided to choose Jennifer, because her story is not like anyone else's. Jennifer is a little person, and despite what everyone told her and said about her she followed her dreams of 

becoming a Pediatrician. Jennifer worked hard to get accepted into medical school. Jennifer is not just a Pediatrician, she is a also a reality TV Star in the TV show "The Little Couple" on TLC. What Jennifer was successful at was not giving up and following her dream, she did not let her health situation stop her. The steps she took to get to where she is today, were to keep going and see what the future had in store for her, while following her dream of becoming a doctor. 

Jennifer's story is similar to chapter 2 in the book Outliers because just like Bill Gates was lucky to grow up in Seattle, and live right across from The University where he could access the computer lab 24/7, she was lucky to be accepted into Medical School as she quoted in the video. This concept of the 10,000 hours was applied because she did not just get accepted into Medical School, and become a Pediatrician out of no where. Jennifer had to study and practice Medicine, before even thinking of saying she was a doctor.
