I am an 11th grader enrolled in High school with 2 different clubs, "LEAD" and "Newspaper."
My area of field interest is mostly all sciences—more specifically Hydrology, Meteorology, Environmentalism.
I am currently taking AP Biology, AP Language & Composition, and AP Environmental Science. I am also planning to take AP Computer Science Principals, AP Physics I—as well as Honors Meteorology, Honors Astronomy, Honors Hydrology—All honors are online.
My main hobby is traditional and digital art. I have been drawing digitally for roughly 5 years. Traditionally I've done hands on art since Pre-school. I also have a keen interest in Pokémon in general. I love "shiny hunting" for unique variants and competitive builds.
My favorite genre to watch is law and criminal TV shows.
I have a niche interest in nuclear physics—despite my interest are in environmentalism. I find the creation of said interest kind of enthusiastic.

Science Fiction Becomes Science Fact Scholarship
In meteorology, there is no right way of a prediction—it's more of a game. I want to pursue Atmospheric sciences and Computer science to feed my interest in weather ever since I was 9 years old. For me, I want to make weather a given and usually factual thing people will turn to instead of saying Meteorology is just a faulty prediction and not a fact. I am obsessed with tornadoes, thunderstorms, and hurricanes—mostly intrigued by the story of El Reno, central Oklahoma. Weather watching has been a beauty for my liking—pursuing atmospheric sciences would be an earned dream come true.
However, when it comes to my passion for weather now? I always get frustrated with the local weather outlets being rather far edge wrong on a given basis. For me, I want to change that and make a role into contribution toward weather getting on the correct path. When it comes to families alike—they want to know then and now to make plans with their loved ones—and I am no exception to that. Businesses that make plans to host events also will want to be inclined to know what is coming their way. In the case of a Tornado, for example, people are in harm's way and the rush of adrenaline to get out of such a scary storm is detrimental to their survival. I want to cover and make way for pedestrians to have a safe road down ahead amidst a storm. Making sure citizens are safe in an uncontrollable crisis. Getting factual information out with a team about wind speeds, tornado routes, best haven, and the protection of others.
Furthermore, living in the midwest where tornadoes are a localized hazard every warm, humid summer makes me even more motivated—since I am around them ever so often. Living near the epicenter of weather intrigues me every day to explore further, especially my 9-year-old self when I watched Pecos Hank, a professional storm chaser chase down these narly storms and warn pedestrians of these hazards on his own terms sparked my interest to want to pursue a similar route.
As of now, I've found my intended field of Atmospheric sciences and Computer science to make a difference in safety and holiday—wanting people to get the factual weather coming their way, giving pedestrians time to prepare for whatever is rolling their way, whether it is a cumulonimbus cloud, light rain, or snowfall. We all deserve to know what is happening with the atmosphere at all times.
