I have encounter a lot of different types of pressures during college. Working and going to school full time wasn't easy. It's pretty much stressed out when the classes are given out homeworks. You got to go to work after class and come back home eat food then shower from long day. Not much time to study or do your homework. College does getting expensive, I keep wondering where all these money go to. Some college are charging students from $20-100 or more to help supports their football league for newer stadium and equipements. I kept thinking, it's not fair for them who actually does go to school and not really participate in sports but for education itself. Things makes some students angry since economic went down and slowly rebound. I have no idea how things had been since Recession. Is it being to rebound, still the same, or is it going back down the hill? Student needs to be able to work to live or they are facing more serious problems.
My mom was student at North Dakota State University when she has three kids (my two other brothers). It was pretty hard for my mom to focus since we were all wild and loudly. I immediately knew not to have kids until I finish school and my life is out of the real world becomes normal. That would be the best time to build up more confidence about being parents.
College pressure for myself is always high like to the stress level only when I don't keep up studying or doing my homeworks on time. I tend to wait to the last minutes and do them. I'm trying not to do that because it's not fun and not healthy to be stressed out all the times. I'm glad my major is Athletic Training and our classes has small numbers of student enrolled. We all Athletic Trainers students works together and educating ourselves with practicing experience skills on ourselves. Practices makes things better and would be more confidence in appraching the athletes for whatever they needs like taping or rehabing process. Without them, I would probably be not pushing myself in continuing with this program.
Tips to be not in pressure or stress situations. Keep up with your study for test, homeworks, go to tutors if need helps, have feedbacks, friends who be there for you, prepare and organizing your things, be happy, do things that enjoys yourself like playing video games or take the dogs out for walk or working out, be on time, and positive attitudes. These helped me a lot through college knowing you can do it!

University Days
James Thurber might be lying with what he can't see. Everyone is different with eyes seeing. He could be blind as well but he wasn't. I can't really blame Thurber, botany seems hard class. I won't ever reconsidered about taking that class. Any biology courses is so hard for me. Took me three times to pass biology. I have no interests in learning how cells works. They are so small and can't see with special tools like microscope. If people really fascinating in that kind of stuff, let them be. It makes them happy, they could be Pharmacist or a doctor to prevent from patient from getting illness. You could be whoever you wanted to be.
Everybody has their weakness of knowledge to learn new subject. For myself that I am deaf, music/theatre is the difficult course to pass. I often tend to avoid what is needed to be hear. I remember when I was in 4th grade. I was enrolled into music class, we would all have to play a song together. I tried my best to copy everyone. I kept thinking they are blowing really hard. So I went on blowing hard as well too. Then the teacher said, "Noooo, easy on it.....". I tried again, blowing too soft. Teacher said needs more. I was confused so I blow and with voice. Teacher got so frustrated and kicked me out. From on that point, I knew not to take any more musical classes but theatre is acceptable only not performing in hearing plays, unless you really wanted to. Just somebody that's talent and fearless.

On Keeping A Notebook
Didion kept a notebook and wrote about tale that has occurred in her life. When you takes notebook and write about events, it won't be forgotten and that its on the notebook. You might remember the story to it, but might could had forgotten detailed to it. From the notebook stories, you could pass on to your friends or family generation for years. People tend to do that so it won't be long gone. How the story of the past where Achilles takes on Troy and the mighty Roman Empire took on Europe for some point are still remembered? Possible they kept old documents of it and then its transferred into technology things today such as USB memory card or on computer in safe file. Now its two things that would still be there with us today. In case old documents is long dust, it is still saved by today technology. The story had been told, books had been wrote, and the information is still with us. In Didion book, it was more about her life how things had been different that way she can compare to herself and pass it on family how life in the past was hard working than today where you kids got cell phone and television where all of you should be playing outside all the times.
I personally thinks about this sometimes about keeping a notebook. I only think the notebook would be good to remember the events which was forgotten and now appear back in my head at random time. From there it is best to write it down of something that impact in your life or events that you enjoy. It could be anything. My note taker in high school gave me diary. I wasn't expecting it but I promised her to write down my trip to Sweden so she can read what I did up there. Every night I would sit down and write everything what I did during the day with my family. When I read it two or three years later, I read and I couldn't remember exactly what happened but lucky I was able to remember part of it. If I was more specifically detailed enough, I would be able to write a full story on it. But let me tell you, when you go on your trip. It will goes fast and you will be back home soon. So.... "Time fly fast.... Explore fast." That what I always say to myself up there.

New to blog
Hello, I'm Shane Winkenwader. I am deaf and very athletic person. I could play any sports you could name of but not wonderful in basketball, ha. My life had been challenging with hearing loss, I had overcame many obstacles. During swimming meet, I don't want to have more bright flash at the start which was offered to me. I just want to be normal and fair with others. All I can't do is hear, and everything else I can do just like hearing people. Many stories happens and goes on. Just live your life to the fullest.
Other than that, I got two more years left to take with only 15 classes left to pass to graduation. Pretty near to be done. My major's Athletic Training. Its great to see athletic recovery from injury and to prevent from injury to happens. Reason why I picked this because it best suit me for future job. I initally picked United State Coast Guard but couldn't due to hearing loss. Anyway, I can't waiting to graduate soon then move north where there would be lots of snow all the times during winter. =)
Anything else? ask me
