Most of the time, we know what weather is heading our way— thanks to meteorologists (气象学家). Will it be sunny or rainy, hot or cold? Every day, people turn to the TV, computer, or radio to find out. And every day, meteorologists work hard to predict what the weather will be like.
For some, an interest in weather starts early. It did for Samantha Gibbons, a 10-year-old from the USA. She says she loves watching the weather. Every week, Samantha studies the science behind weather through the Internet. In January, she was the youngest kid to attend the 2015 American Meteorological Society (AMS) Annual Meeting. During the Q&A discussion at the event, she asked the experts how a halo (a ring of light around a moon or sun) appears. One expert answered her question. “I was very excited to take part in the meeting! It was like I was meant to be there,” said Samantha.
Not only does Samantha study the numbers behind weather, but she also practices speaking on air. As a member of her school’s broadcast (电视节目) club, she helps produce the school’s morning programs. “I love being on TV,” she said.
On September 3, 2014, Samantha made her first TV show on NBC Channel 12 in Phoenix, USA. Before her appearance, she woke up at 4 a.m. to arrive at the station by 5:30 a.m., a typical morning for many meteorologists. “To prepare, I practiced in front of the mirror,” said Samantha. “I learned I needed a lot of practice on camera!” Her future plans are simple: do well in school and practice broadcasting. What’s her advice for other kids interested in becoming meteorologists? “Ask lots of questions,” said Samantha. “Always have faith in what you’re doing and keep pursuing (追求) your dream.”
