    My name is Jarilyn Regeczi. I am 16 years old. And I will be a junior this school year. I actually have just recently decided what I wanted my career to be. I have had ideas before about the profession that I wanted to go into. At first I wanted to go into Medical Billing and Coding, because the medical field is growing but I don't do really well with like sickness and blood and that kind of stuff. But I have recently decided that I wnat to go into the Genetics field. My family has many problems with different cancers. My grandma passed away from a very aggresive breast cancer. To prevent more hardships, my mom and her two sisters were tested for that gene. My mom's test came back positive. Everything worked out ok. But that was kind of the point when I started to rethink my plan, because if I can help people to find out about the diseases they might potentionaly have in their systems, and then help them to prevent it, I would feel so happy and accomplished. I don't really know the specifics of what I want to do but that is the general field. some reasons that I am taking this course is because to be in the genetics field you need alot of science knowledge, and I have always been really intersted in this type of things. My favorite part of last year's biology class was when we learned about DNA and how it affects a person's traits. In this course I hope to acheive knowledge that I can use in my career.
