Who Am I



Who Am I - Gabe Haines




Hi all! I am Gabe Haines, a sophomore at Commonwealth University. I am majoring in 2 majors which are Political Science, and Communications Studies. I also am working towards earning a minor in History.  The ultimate goal that I hope to achieve long into the future is being a politician. I would love to serve as the Governor of the Great State of Pennsylvania and work my way up to hopefully becoming the President Of The United States.

The first fun fact about me is that I am a meteorologist. I love anything that has to do with weather especially since I grew up watching the Weather Channel everyday. From tornadoes to hurricanes to snapping away at the sky, I will always be there to help identify and discuss about what makes weather unique.

The next fun fact about me is that I love to analyze elections raging from a variety of years. I am very good at pointing out election predictions especially with the maps. I am able to give good details about percentage points and can point out different techniques the candidates use. I also love to watch the news to catchup on certain events. Analyzing elections is a gift to be able to do,

My last fun fact is that I am a vexillologist. A vexillologist is someone who studies flags and analyzes them. This is my favorite thing to do especially since I not only study flags, but collect flags. I also intend to join the North American Vexillology Association since this is something that I have a passion for. I love all flags ranging from the flags of the US States, to all national flags... except for the bad ones (=

  1. The picture of the wall of rain is incredible! Wanting to enter politics is very brave, and I wish you the best of luck in all your future campaigns. I'm also a dual major, Secondary Education and History!

  2. Thanks for sharing such a great range of fun facts about yourself. I'd love to know if you have a favorite flag amongst those you own. Do you acquire them only after you've visited a place or by other means? I love the weather detail too. As a lover of weather, do you also 'collect' weather experiences?
