Brittany is an active student at Millennium High School. The school paper may be a small production, but Brittany leads the way by taking the initiative to edit articles. And her drive doesnâÂÂt stop there.
       In the Foreign Exchange Club, members like Brittany are allowed the opportunity to travel. âÂÂSpanish used to be the only foreign language in the school so most of the places were in Latin countries.â In Chile, Brittany volunteered at an orphanage and in Costa Rice, she painted a church.Â
       Although she remains involved with student life at Millennium , Brittany has a far commute. âÂÂI lived in Harlem until age eleven, then I moved to the Bronx.â Proud of her own identity, Brittany often feels like an outsider in her dominantly West Indian neighborhood. ThatâÂÂs not the only critique Brittany has. âÂÂItâÂÂs in the BOONDOX!â she exclaims, describing the isolated area.  But Brittany isnâÂÂt paying much mind to her neighborhood woes as she looks forward to a career in communications. âÂÂThereâÂÂs so much I want to do but I stick with writing because I like it and I think IâÂÂm good at it.”
