Decent Essays

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.

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…

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.
