...almost fooled myself into fully adopting this mentality when one day, waiting to cross a street in the Kreuzberg, I heard myself reflect, “Well, if I’m struggling I’m doing something right” and recognized a tone totally contrary to everything I thought I was. To the extent that I had inherited a culture, nowhere in my very hybrid Catholic-Jewish Asian-Spanish-Eastern European parentage was there even a hint of the kind of Puritanism that values “sticking it out” above all else.

Though the record may not reflect it, the Harvard women’s lacrosse team was a formidable force this season. “I think we made a statement to all the higher-ranked teams in the Ivy League that Harvard is a team to be reckoned with,” junior Kaitlin Martin said. “Every single game that they played with us was a hard fought game.” The Crimson had its best overall record since 2002 with a 9-7 mark. It started out on fire with six straight wins over local...
