I just got a comment from a friend I just reconnected with on Facebook. She told me that reading that I was working on a Masters degree in Atmospheric Science was the best thing she’d read in a long time. I’ve wanted to be in meteorology for as long as I can remember. Sometimes I think I just want to throw in the towel and give up, because it is so hard, or I’m so sad or whatever the reason is. But then I hear something like that and I remember that I am doing the thing I’ve always wanted to do. As hard as it has been, and it continues to be, I followed my dreams, and they are slowly coming true.
