Weather Is My Passion
National Environmental Education Foundation

The weather for me is such an interesting topic. While growing up, I always wanted to be a meteorologist. It seemed like such a fun career has. You forecast, look at weather patterns, among so many other things. But what I found out what is, you need a lot of math.

Math is not my strong point. Nor do I have the patience to solve a math problem. When you start talking about algebra to me, mixing letters and numbers together, my brain just shuts off. I have absolutely no clue what you’re talking about when someone talks to me about algebra. I literally cannot do an algebraic question. So, I was surprised when I found out that I needed college calculus to have a degree in meteorology.

So, when my major had to be switched from meteorology to broadcasting. I’ve learned that I could actually take a few courses online and get online weather certificates. But the downfall is that it costs $6,000. Why the hell does college have to be so darn expensive. All I want is a certificate to prove that I can forecast weather. Even though it to this day I can forecast weather for anybody at any time.

I know how to read computer models; I know how to look for signs of severe weather in the vicinity. I know about all different kinds of weather and how different kinds of weather interacts with each other because I do tons and tons of research. But the fact of the matter is no one is going to care if I don't have the certificate or a degree in weather forecasting and meteorology. It’s just really annoying to me.

I started mass communications and found my other passion, which is writing a video, editing, graphic design, and other things. I found out that I am pretty good in that major. I think I found my niche in life.

The fact of the matter is that I’m having fun in my major even though I’m not a meteorologist. When you’re having fun and in college it must mean that you picked the right major. So many people just despise college because it’s hard work. Don’t get me wrong, mass communications was a very hard major, but in the end, it was so much fun. You have to work well under high periods of stress and under strict deadlines. But that’s what I love about it. It is the fact that I get to be stressed and still have fun at the same time.

I hope to one day get that online weather certificate. It would be a dream of mine to have some type of certification that I can show possible employers about how I love weather and how I can really be a forecaster one day.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
