The Beginning

Good Morning,

My name is Courtney Marble, I'm a senior in high school starting to take AP Biology.  I like to keep a healthy life style and to challenge myself. Music is my life! I love just about every type of music, from R&B to Country.  I have been playing the clarinet for eight years and have just started playing the tenor sax in the HS Jazz Band.  In addition to Jazz Band, I am also in Concert Band, Wind Ensemble, and the Community Orchestra.  I also like writing music!  Another thing I enjoy is running and sports.  I am a part of the SHS Girls Bowling Team and will be joining the Track and Field Team in the Spring.  Finally, I love science, mainly Chemistry.  I plan to go to Central Michigan University and major in biochemistry with a minor in Spanish.  With this major I plan to do medical research at a local hospital. 

I have decided to take AP Biology because it will help me tremendously in college.  It will help me be ready for the harder classes I will have to take at CMU.  With a major in biochemistry, I will have to take many biology and chemistry classes.  This is also a challenging course, that will push me to achieve my full potential. I like to be ahead of the game and with the higher level of information from this class, I will rise above others later in my college career.  Finally, I hope to take the AP Biology test in the Spring so I can start in higher level biology classes when entering college. 

I hope that the knowledge obtained from this class will help me go farther in college and later in life.  I want to get challenged and pushed, so I can realize my full potential.  I also want to step out of my comfort zone to ask questions and fully understand all the concepts of biology.  In the end, I want to be able to think about things more critically and in greater detail.
