I don't usually share my opinions
unless I have been given a chance to
research them thoroughly.
Research is an important process
in learning, thus helping to achieve
wisdom. Today, there is a wealth
knowledge available, all within the
typing of a few keystrokes.
I have used the internet for eight
years. Throughout those years, it has
grown vastly. My main purpose for
connecting to the internet was to
collect medical information
regarding my disorder. At that time,
I had lived with Friedreich's Ataxia
for almost 20 years, but my
knowledge of what was happening
to me was somewhat uneducated.
When I first connected in February
of 1996, there was little information
on my disorder. However, within a
few months, information came
flowing in— especially after the gene
that causes Friedreich's Ataxia was
discovered. This finding raised new
hopes in developing treatments and
finding a cure. Researchers began
publicizing their findings to promote
their breakthroughs, and the benefits
of vitamin/medication supplements
were published to educate other
sufferers.
While researching the effects on
my life with Friedreich's Ataxia,
many of the issues "snowballed"
into information that never has
affected me, but I still find the
readings interesting. 1 liked to
compare other health issues to my
disorder, and learn how to integrate
other coping techniques with my
own. I still do, and I have discovered
that although my disorder has
formed much of my life, it only
dictates me physically.
There are other pursuits that
interest me too!
The internet has other forms of
learning as well. Receiving
education is something I can do with
or without my disorder, which is
why 1 enjoy it so much. I like living
in my rural area of Huron County,
and the internet allows me to take a
variety of different courses right
here in Brussels. Being able to stay
in the comfort of my home is a
bonus also, as I am able to focus on
learning rather than expending all
my physical energy getting to a
classroom.
I have taken courses on writing,
and have found them to be a lot of
fun. (Except the course on advanced
grammar, but, you live and you .
learn.) Right now, I am taking a
course on the Art Movement of
Impressionism — studying paintings
of the masters is another hobby of
mine, and I can amuse myself in an
art gallery for hours on end!
Another activity I use the internet
for is shopping — you can buy just
about anything you want! Many
websites have pictures of the
merchandise they wish to sell, and
all that is required is your credit card
number and it is shipped to you
within a few days. Whenever I see
the words, free shipping — I am
hooked! I have never had an issue
with safety, and I find it to be very
convenient. So much so, that I need_
to restrain myself sometimes — it can
be an addictive shopping
experience!
