In Pre- Calculus this past week, I learned the concept of removable continuity. This notion states that there are certain aspects of a function in math that cannot be removed, or else the function will not be valid, yet more importantly, will not be a working equation.

That feeling of persevering and winning even when times get hard are what drives my passion in lacrosse. It is those moments that make all of the pain and time worth it. Although less exciting, another example of when my passion for lacrosse led me to success was in my college search in the fall of my sophomore year. I was trying to get used to school starting up and the increase of work for sophomore year, but I had to fly to a different school every weekend because I was given deadlines to verbally commit to a college. There were lots of tears and events missed (I will never forget having to miss my field hockey game against Visitation, or the Blue Gold Friday night football game.) However, I gradually learned that some passions simply are more important than others. I learned that in order to be a great lacrosse player, I would have to set my priorities straight, and do that with passion, so I embraced
