Midterm: Atlanta Snow- A Comparison

A summary of the events from my viewpoint of the snow day in Atlanta on March 1st, 2009.

Feel free to comment on whether you believe people who live in the South overreact when it comes to minor snowstorms.

Merita McCalister: She is who she is, so what more can you ask?

Describing herself as both an articulate yet reserved person, Merita McCalister displays interesting charisma, work ethic, and a dedication to greatness.

Ms. McCalister, born December 16th, 1988, is a person who has endured an array of changes and some obstacles in her life, which she did overcome. She was born in Tampa, Florida, but as she described, that was only the beginning of her journey. With her father being in the army, Ms. McCalister and her family lived in five different areas as a child growing up. What is interesting is that these places were far and apart from each other. In fact, she has never been in one place more than three years of her life.

The transiency, along with the fact that she is an only child, has contributed to her actions even today. She is self-described as a reserved person. She tends to shy away from people, which is not a good thing according to her own admission. The fact that she is kind of shy does not take away from her propensity to speak her mind though, nor does it hamper her work ethic in any way.

In her spare time, Ms. McCalister pretty much enjoys doing the little things. She likes to read books and sleep, when she is not enthralled in the many activities of school. Of course, with the aspirations she has, Ms. McCalister certainly puts school at the top of her list.
Merita is a Print Journalism major, and naturally, she loves to write and interview people. As a sophomore, she has written stories for the Panther Paw Newsletter, and her goals in life are also very admirable. She ultimately wants to own a magazine production company. She is taking the correct measures to make this happen as well, such as enrolling in management courses this semester. When looking at her plans and the way she carries herself on a daily basis, it can be said that Merita McCalister is headed in the right direction in life.
