On Being a Pediatrician's Daughter

My mom is a pediatrician, a kids’ doctor. Even as a junior in high school, I know I want to follow in her footsteps. She went to Johns Hopkins for medical school, and graduated at the top of her class. She did some amazing research there and met some of the brightest in her field. Nowadays she runs her own private practice.

Today in 3rd period, a boy made the connection, with my last name, that my mom used to be his doctor. “Your mom has seen my balls. She’s even touched them!” This happens about once every 2 weeks.
