I may never walk onto an arena stage to the sound of 20,000 feeding my ego, but I stand today one year from the dream. I stand only 1 year from being a meteorologist. To most of you that may mean absolutely nothing, but to me it is beating all the doubts and fears I have ever had. It is beating the demons that plagued me for years. It is a personal accomplishment beyond belief. I never thought I would be here just one year from the dream.
