Question
Hi! My name is Virginia and I am graduating from high school on the 30th. I would like to be a sign language interpreter and a meteorologist as well. I plan on going to a community college for about a year to get my basic classes out of the way before going on to an actual university. I was wondering what classes I would have to take in order to become a meteorologist? I also really want to go to OU in Norman, OK. Thanks!
