"If winning isn't everything, why do they keep score?"  Vince Lombardi


I consider myself a very athletic person, who hates to lose.  Sports has been a part of my life since I was little.  I grew up in a small town called Kellnersville, Wisconsin with a family who have been big sports fans all their life, especially Milwaukee Brewer fans. My name is Lyndsay Holschbach and I am a senior at Silver Lake College located in Manitowoc, Wisconsin. I am majoring in accounting and play on the women’s basketball team here.  I will be graduating in May and shortly after graduation I am hoping to find a job within the area of Manitowoc. I want to work for a large corporation and eventually become a manager.  I am still debating if I want to take the CPA exam, but I will make that decision later on in my future.  Along with having a full time job, I also want to become a coach.  I have wanted to be a coach since I was in middle school.  For the past 3 years I have been an assistant varsity softball coach at Reedsville High School and am hoping within the next few years to become the head coach.  Doing this would make my dream since middle school come true. 
 
I am writing this blog as part of my World Literature class.  I did not take this class because I wanted to, I was kind of forced to.  See, I am in my senior year of college and in order to graduate I needed one more English credit so here I am.  I think this class is going to be tough for me because I really don't like English classes and struggle with poetry a lot.  In this class I want to gain a better understanding of poetry and all other readings from around the world.  I want to enhance my reading skills so that I am able to get a better feel of where the author is coming from and why they are writing the poem or short story.  So far the readings we have read were very confusing to me and hard to understand what the point of the reading was.  By the end of this class I want to have improved my reading skills so that I will be able to grasp the writer’s purpose and understand them more.
