The Great Willy Winkenbach!
What if you were completely out of shape but I told you could run 60 yards for a touchdown – or maybe you never kicked a football in your life but I could show you a way you could kick a 70-yard field goal without breaking a sweat? Now even people who have no athletic ability or those people who are incredible at sports can be on an even playing field – just because of how fast they can click a mouse (plus a little bit of luck!) That’s right – I am talking about the …

When I was a third grader in Elementary School, I was just your regular,
everyday kinda kid – staying out of trouble, going to school, doing my homework,

Since it’s been a while, I guess it’s time for an update on how stressful school really is. No matter how many years you’ve dealt with it, it certainly doesn’t get any easier. But then again, it’s not supposed to, is it?
Here we are in week four of the spring semester and I can almost see the finish line. But looking at what’s ahead, I feel like the finish line might as well be in the middle of the ocean and I have no boat. This (academic) year has gone by so fast, but there are still twelve weeks …
