Welcome

Hey everyone!

This is my "Grand Opening" blog, which basically includes some background information about me. First of all, my name is Ryan Moreau. I was born in California, but I grew up in Lincolnshire, Illinois for almost my entire life. At Stevenson High School (GO PATRIOTS!!!) I played four years of golf, two years of basketball, two years of swimming, one year of water polo, and managed to squeeze some art in there as well.

After deciding not to turn professional in all of my sports...ahem...I became a student at the University of Illinois. I am currently a senior studying Integrative Biology with a minor in Secondary Education. In the future, I look forward to teaching the high school students of tomorrow, and (hopefully) inspiring some kind of pursuit of scientific knowledge...even if it is just little things here or there, like watching science television programs or surfing the web for interesting facts or pictures (note: I may or may not have taped every science program available on the Discovery Chanel from now until the end of time). Although, I think it can be those little things that can trigger a profound desire to learn - if you can only start that first spark. That is what I hope to be a part of...inspiring the desire to pursue what continues to become limitless knowledge!
