Second-year student Brittney Lane successfully juggles water polo and law school. As early as second grade, Brittney Lane drew up plans to attend Harvard or Stanford, a dream supported by her parents even though neither had been to college at that time. With hard work she was able to attain that dream— she not only attended Harvard, she became one of only a handful of people to ever graduate from that university with a 4.0 GPA. Following college, she moved back home to Fresno, California, where she contemplated her next move. “When I graduated from college, I did not know what I wanted to do for the rest of my life,” she explains. “I knew I did not want to be an investment banker like most of my friends, but beyond that I was completely lost. I had worked at Blockbuster for the previous four summers and it was a job I loved, so I decided to return to my job at Blockbuster while I tried to figure out what I wanted to do.”
