Chilled Dreams and Cold Winter Days

          It’s cold winter days like today when I look back on the dreams I had when I was little and smile. When I was in Elementary school there were so many things I wanted to do I wanted to be an Olympic swimmer, a teacher, a professional barrel racer, and last but not least…I wanted to be a Meteorologist. Now at that time I woke up and ran into the living room just to watch the weather report, I went to school where we were studying clouds and weather currents, and Twister was my favorite movie! There was just something about weather that infatuated me and I wanted to be one of those crazy people who followed it. As I got older there was more and more pressure on me to figure out some sort of path to work toward (something that was actually realistic). So obviously the professional barrel racer and Olympic swimmer were kind of out of my reach, but becoming a teacher is pretty obtainable…BUT I discovered that becoming a teacher wasn’t really what I wanted either. Now as many of us know many dreams become lost in time only to be forgotten. When I got out of high school I had this dream of becoming a track vet for racehorses, well life threw me some curve balls and I discovered that studying veterinary medicine wasn’t really what I wanted to get into either. However, getting into the racetrack industry was something I was truly passionate about and interested in. You may be reading this thinking that I’m jumping from one topic to another, but I swear there is a point to this blog entry. The 6th Annual Career Connections event is being held at the Las Cruces Convention Center through tomorrow February 2nd. No matter if you are an lower classman or you’re about to graduate it’s worth it to attend these professional employment events to maybe find out what you want to do with the rest of your life or even just to see what’s out there waiting for you! The career I choose will have to be something I’m interested in, but it also will have to be obtainable. To this day I’m still obsessed with meteorology and how weather patterns work, but the path I’m going down fits more of who I am as a person. So here’s your NMSU weather report for the rest of the week… There’s a 30% chance of precipitation either in the form of rain or snow the rest of tonight with a low of 18o. Tomorrow there’s a prediction of Snow Flurries throughout the day the high getting to about 25o and a low of 5o tomorrow night. Through the weekend expect sunny skies and warmer temperatures after the clouds move out early Thursday. So in closing find something you’re passionate about, but never forget those little kid dreams… AND also be sure to bundle up the rest of the week. J
