Adam Donner

My name is Adam Donner. I am a student at Olathe Northwest High School,  and I am part of the e -Communication academy at ONW. Since middle school, I have always had a passion for sports, and have loved watching them through the years. Because of this, my dream that I am working to make a reality is to be a sports broadcaster for a major network and be able to commentate sports games at the highest level.

During my time at ONW, I have had many unique opportunities, including commentating soccer, basketball, and football.  This has enabled me to have a head-start in the field and gain valuable experience and knowledge that has only helped me in getting more opportunities to build on my current skills. I have been incredibly blessed to be around teachers and mentors that have helped me along the way by providing me the resources necessary to do what I love.

While doing this, I have also founded and managed a landscaping business which has taught many valuable skills. It has proved to be remarkable training in financial and time management, communication skills, and more that goes beyond just that job. This has helped me to become more disciplined and hard-working, which has helped me in all aspects of my life.

​

I plan to attend the University of Missouri and major in journalism next year.
