    (“Summary”) I chose to be a broadcaster, because of my zealous love for the weather, and the camera. Analyzing all the time is a major thing for atmospheric scientists, because there could be a change in the weather and if there wasn’t anybody watching over the weather, nobody could track how it came in.

    For ten years I have possessed a constant desire to become a meteorologist; I want most of all to make a difference, a saying uttered often but so infrequently accomplished. Meteorologists hold such a significant job—they provide warnings for severe and extreme conditions and help ordinary civilians decide which day to do this or that—and are not accredited for their efforts because oftentimes they are marginally incorrect and are blamed for the slight inconveniences in the days of countless people. I so desperately want to prove all these doubters wrong, prove that, yes, weather can be predicted accurately with little percent error. To find a way to accomplish this great stretch of a wish is my main objective as a meteorologist.…
