Alex-the-intern's Blog

Alex,
I wrote to fox 9 weather that I have a 13 yr old nephew that is very interested and focused on weather and would like to be a meteroligist. He is a very inteligent, fine young man. Fox 9 weather is his favorite, and he raves about your radar. As if I know our understand why, though he sure seems to. Anyway, I had asked about internships and requested any info about what he could do if he couldn"t get an internship to further his intrest in being a metoroligist. However, I got only the response that you only accept collage students, which I understand, but I would really appreciate some info about what else he could do. It is very rare to find a 13 yr old who knows what he wants to do and is motivated to do it. I think it is a rare oppertunity to start someone out on a path to success at a young age. So, seeing as you are already on the inside track and have demonstrated your ability to succeed, I was hoping you might be able to help us further, atleast with some direction or ideas where he could go or what he could do now to directly advance his knowledge of the field and/or make good contacts in the field. Maybe there are youth programs or a charter school that Fox 9 sponsors or that you know of. Maybe you just need someone to make your coffee for the summer! :). Thanks, in advance, Travis Walter Majzner
