Difficulties

My years spent in Barbados and UWI were pretty good to be honest. The true difficulties were really with some of the courses involved in obtaining the degree, like Calculus and Dynamic Meteorology to name a few. Meteorology is not an easy field of study and required dedication and sacrifice which I was always prepared to do. Also, towards the end of most semesters was that feeling of home sickness, but that’s never too bad when surrounded by good friends.

I also turned to reggae music as a way of mentally taking myself back home. I grew up listening to reggae, as my father would blast it from his stereo almost daily and my entire family would dance to it at every function. 

Advice

Firstly, anyone interested in studying meteorology must be aware that the science heavily consists of mathematics and physics, thus it is very important to have a good foundation at high school level in these areas. As previously mentioned, meteorology is not an easy field of study and requires determination, dedication and sacrifice to be successful. Always manage your time carefully by balancing social life, social media and school work as best you can. Although it is difficult, meteorology is also a very fun and interesting field and when your mind becomes open to the world of weather you would not regret choosing this career path.
