I am a freshman here at Central Michigan University, in Mount Pleasant, MI. I have gone through one semester of basic meteorology learning the basic aspects of how the atmosphere functions. In my short time in this major, I have quickly learned that everything effects everything. What I mean about that is that a system or a potential wave in the Southern Hemisphere will effect something in the Northern Hemisphere with similar affects. With it being an El Nino year, I learned the basic functions on how each tropic is effected with the constant flow of moisture at the equator. This opportunity will allow me to gain knowledge about atmospheric science where I will learn and use from for future meteorological job related positions. I am fortunate …show more content…
Goals are the primary step towards success. If a person does not have a goal on a particular event or issue, then they will not be able to achieve that event or solve that issue to the best of their ability. My goal, if I was given the opportunity to conduct a research program at Hobart and William Smith Colleges this Summer, is to continue to gain essential knowledge and experience, while assisting and cooperating with my co-workers, to solve what our goal is. As a scientist it is essential to have the skill asset of curiosity and determination. I am a person who always thinks of the other perspectives in life and I try to think outside the box, because I am curious. This is why meteorologists and other science majors have jobs, is because we are curious of what we can find and what we can solve. Because we are curious, there are opportunities such as this research program to figure out and learn more about weather systems, and how Earth functions altogether. From the knowledge and experience I would gain with this opportunity, I would provide my meteorology peers my knowledge, while giving advice and connections that I met along the …show more content…
I was a Captain of both a men’s Cross Country and Track and Field team in high school. I was elected through my peers and coaches as they recognized my leadership and innovative ideas. They acknowledged me by electing as their Captain. While I was a captain, I learned more about life and how to treat certain situations in different ways. I became curious on how further improve the team in general, in order that my teammates carried on respect, passion, and focus throughout their lives. I expressed those aspects with the acronym PMA. PMA stands for Positive Mental Attitude, it is an outlook in life where a person who has a PMA will achieve anything they set their mind to. Thinking in a PMA way allows the brain to function in different way and opens up new pathways to learn from. I firmly believe if everyone had a PMA and were focused on their certain set of goals, we as people, would discover and solve Earth’s hardest
I want to be in the Anderson Scholars Science program because I want to get better at science and do more in-depth research. The internship in the program sounds like a great experience for me, and the research project seems like it would be good to do some real research and fun to do. I will contribute to the Anderson Scholars by going to all of the field trips and science seminars. I will get good grades in my science classes and take AP science classes. I will work hard to become a good scientist. One of the things I hope to gain from this program is some experience on what its like to be a scientist doing research that isn’t just a premade lab. The Anderson Scholars program can give me the opportunity to find out what areas of science
The WISE student summer research placement would be a tremendous help for me in finding out not only what type of science I enjoy to study the most but the program would also provide many beneficial opportunities for me. For example the program would provide beneficial learning experiences, the chance to meet new people with the potential to gain new lifelong friends, and new skills that will benefit me and potentially others further down the road in a workplace. The most beneficial opportunity the WISE student summer research program would provide for me is the unforgettable experience and fun of learning new things.
It's important to be energetic about the things I am striving to accomplish, similar to the affection for the game, and the yearning to win. On the tennis courts, effects of diligent work grant leadership opportunities – whether that’s implied showing model sportsmanship or serving as a captain. Leadership accompanies obligation that will prepare and shape me for years to come to lead duration of your existence. From my school’s athletic organization, I have learned the reciprocal social process of leadership which is followership. The study of followership is necessary for a superior or more in depth comprehension of leadership, as the success and failure of groups, organizations, and teams are not only dependent on how effective a leader is, but also on how well the followers can follow. Trust is vital in the ability to follow, as we follow those we trust. No trust, no followership. No followership, no leadership! As a follower, I learned to assess, challenge, and support. I assess myself by knowing my strengths and weaknesses; challenge myself by venturing out of my comfort zone and defeat an obstacle that is troublesome, yet feasible; and support my leader to benefit by way of counseling, reinforcing, or even cheering them on. Enhancing the capacity to take someone's lead improves administration and raises the probabilities of better execution. We follow others for
Meteorologist can be on the news and tell you what the predictions of what the weather will be like for the week.
I have always been passionate about mathematics, technology, and spending time outdoors. As an adult, I would love to pursue a career which involves these three passions of mine, and meteorology seems to fit that description very well. By attending the CCNY Weather Camp, I would be able to get a glimpse at the work that meteorologists perform on a day-to-day basis, which would help determine whether it is the right profession for me. I would also be able to contribute my background knowledge and skills in the three areas of my interest to our work with weather. To start with mathematics, I have attended many extracurricular programs regarding the topic, a note-worthy one being the New York Math Circle Summer Program, where I spent several weeks
My ultimate goal in life is to become a meteorologist. Not the kind you see on tv or radio but what most would refer to as the “behind the scenes” meteorologist; with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). From there I have a few options, but the paths I want to pursue are with the NOAA’s National Weather Service (NWS) or the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). With the NWS I would produce forecast and issue watches, warnings, and advisories; fulfilling the agency's goals of protecting life and property. My second possibility would be as a NOAA meteorologist with in one of the FAA’s Air Route Traffic Control Centers, working with air traffic controllers and advising them on meteorological hazards that would affect aircraft
STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) careers are the basis of the global world around us. They are in high demand and with this type of education provides a lot of opportunities for your career. It is so important to pursue these types of fields because almost all of the different types of careers is depending on this type of education. Let’s look at technology. We use technology every single day, I am using it to write this paper. Technology has increased so much over the past century and is still improving but we need new people and new ideas to come up with new inventions and keep improving to provide benefits for society. That is just one example why the STEM career is a good path to pursue.
It is astonishing how many calculations and work goes into determining the weather each day. Meteorologists read this information and broadcast it to households every night. The weather each day helps determine a region’s climate, but the climate does not determine the weather every day. Meteorology is one of the studies of the atmosphere, and the daily weather helps determine the climate. These are all common terms to most people, but each term carries more meaning than most intend to realize.
I have always had an interest in science and the mysteries and dangers it holds. As a result my pursuit for an Atmospheric Science degree has always been my top priority. Since the age of five, I have unquestionably appreciated Atmospheric Science. It may sound bizarre; however, I have always been enthralled by catastrophic natural disasters such as tornadoes, earthquakes, and hurricanes. The economic impact extreme weather has on communities has also continuously compelled me to obtain a better understanding of various atmospheric conditions.
At a young age I was introduced to basketball and volleyball, and ever since the love for these two sports have grown and play a big role in my life. Today, as a competitive athlete, I have learned how to be a leader, what it takes to be successful, and that nothing in life will be handed to you. My role of being a leader all began when I was in third grade on the basketball court. I was the only one that knew how to dribble, so my role was to be the "point guard,” the person who leads the team on offence. Still today I play this role; I am currently the captain of my varsity basketball team and was the captain of my successful volleyball team. Being an athlete has also shown me what it takes to be successful. I have learned the key to success
Phoebe demonstrated a mature attitude and approach to all her assignments this semester in Personal Learning Plan, which was reflected in this outstanding grade. It is always pleasing to see a student who completes work to the highest possible standard which truly reflects Phoebe’s ability to plan, communicate and review her future career pathway in Meteorology. This was a superb effort from a hard-working
Teaching – Today I continued to work on the Earth’s Oceans chapter with the 7th-grade class. To help the students understand the concept of El Nino I also showed them a video after taking notes. The students also learned about ocean currents.
The young Cindy has always been fascinated by the weather .Sitting next to my window for hours watching lightning strike. I was so intrigued by the force of lighting happening before my eyes. Every since then , the idea of being a Meteorologist sparked my interest. It's been one of my goals, which I yet have to accomplish. Meteorology is a very rigorous major.
An article at Inculcation.com verbalizes about the 3 “P’s” student athletes learn that elongate beyond the classroom: persistence, patience and practice. Team members learn that practice is required, even when they would prefer to be spending time with friends. They learn the harder they work, the better they perform. They also discover that by never giving up, they are more liable to achieve their goals. These life edifications benefit students long after the high school years, availing them prosper in college and after.
We live on an incredibly large planet. Even broader than the size of the planet are the amount of changes and relationships between humans, animals, environment, weather, and the affects of each. Many times with busy schedules and modern lifestyles we forget the interaction that goes on between any number of concepts or idea's. We fail to realize that a specific weather occurrence in the Pacific Ocean can have an affect on every day life in the United States. El Nino is one of the largest scientific phenomenons that scientists have ever explored. The main concepts of El Nino are very simple and there are many variations, causes, affects, and relationships to study.
