Atmospheric science — analyzing weather patterns, forecasting, and storm research. D1 schools with strong meteorology programs are the dream.
Atmospheric systems, climate dynamics, severe-weather case studies. Independent research project on Plains tornado outbreaks.
Trigonometry, complex numbers, conic sections. Strong foundation for college-level calculus.
Rhetorical analysis, argumentative writing, American literature. Capstone essay on athlete-scholar narratives.
Mechanics, waves, thermodynamics. Lab partner for tornado-pressure simulation project.
Conversational fluency, cultural literature. Working toward AP Spanish next year.
Comparative history, geopolitics, primary-source analysis.
Growing up in Tornado Alley, I learned to track radar before I could drive. Reading a sounding chart, watching a supercell organize, calling a tornado warning before the sirens — that's the rush. Atmospheric science is engineering plus chaos plus consequences. I want to study it for real.
