Hello, my name is Adam Ronning. I am a senior at Sparta High School. I have lived in Sparta all of my life. Some of my hobbies / interests include tennis, band, and drama. I am on the Varsity Tennis team and a part of the Marching Band, Jazz Band, and Wind Ensemble. One of my biggest accomplishments is when I made the All-State Band this year. I beat out 86 trombones from around the state to make it in the amazing band. We performed at the Devos Place last weekend and it was pretty much amazing.

My career aspirations have definitely changed in the past year. Throughout high school I have wanted to be a marine biologist and actually was an intern at the John Ball Zoo working in the aquarium. After the internship I realized I did not want to be a zookeeper. Now, my career dream is to be a band teacher. I am planning on going to Central Michigan University to major in Music Education.

I am taking this course for many reasons. Even though I have kind of backed away from a career in biology, I still enjoy learning about it. I would like to get college credit for this class but mostly, I just really want a better and in depth knowledge of biology.
