<p> I was nine years old when I decided I wanted to be a meteorologist.
The event that sparked my interest was the
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1999_Salt_Lake_City_tornado">1999 Salt Lake Tornado</a>.
I remember playing outside with my friends in the backyard on the windy day. After
hearing about the tornado, my eyes were glued to the TV, flipping between
news stations, listening to
<a href="https://youtu.be/kCsC8Y9OPDM">Mark Eubank</a>, talk about the tornado and its
movement through downtown. Other experiences in my life fueled my interest
in meteorology. As early as 2<sup>nd</sup> grader, my mom bought be a
book from the Scholastic book order called <i>I Can Read About Weather</i>.
In 9<sup>th</sup> grade my earth systems teacher taught about fronts
and pressure systems, and global circulation. I was fascinated. Around
that time, I emailed Mark Eubank and asked him what I would need to do in
high school to prepare for college to become a meteorologist. He replied
that I should study well in my math and science courses, as well as learn
some computer programming. My senior year of high school opened many
opportunities to prepare to become a meteorologist. I took a TV broadcasting
class, where my crowning moment was giving a weather report for the school
district news station. I took AP Calculus which had story problems related
to temperature changes over time. My counselor, Ms. Anderson, suggested
I take a district learning class through UVU, Meteorology 1010. That class
sealed the deal. I was interested in meteorology, I was good at it, and I
decided I was going to become a meteorologist. I later attended the
University of Utah and earned my Bachelor and Master's degree in atmospheric
science. Today, I am working on my PhD. When I look back, I am amazed at
the many opportunities that lead me to where I am and prepared me for the
work I am doing.

Other meteorologists have similar stories as mine. They often developed
their interest in the weather from a young age. That is why I love teaching
the young people about the weather. I hope the kids I talk to have a new
understanding of how the things they learn in the classroom relate to
the weather and have increased appreciation for knowledge. For some, I
hope my visit to their classroom is another opportunity that fuels their
interest in studying the atmosphere or sparks a new interest to become
an atmospheric scientist.
