In my Pre-Calculus class, our first unit was "Limits". What is a limit? A limit is a function which a certain value approaches. Here are some examples:

Let f(x) = x. As x approaches to 1, x = 1 which means f(x) = 1.

Let f(x) = x + 1. As x approaches to 1, x = 2 because x is approaching to 1 which means x will eventually be 1. So 1+1 = 2. Thus, f(x) = 2

Okay here's what gets tough.

Let f(x) = 1/x. As x approaches to infinity, what is f(x)? As x value gets bigger and bigger, the f(x) value gets smaller and smaller because it's 1/x. Therefore, f(x) = 0.

Let f(x) = x. As x approaches to infinity, what is f(x)? The f(x) will not have a definite answer because as x gets bigger and bigger, f(x) gets bigger and bigger and will not stop because x approaches to infinity. Therefore, f(x) = Limit Does Not Exist.

Same thing as the last question with a twist. Let's say f(x) is racism level and x is time. As time approaches infinity, racism will have no limits. In other words, as time progresses, racism continues to rise to a point where chaos is created.

Our country is in self-destruct mode. Look where we are, racism is everywhere and it's rising. We have experienced the Civil Rights Movement where black people fought against constantly being treated as second class. Look at the Air Force Academy Prep School incident where unknown cadets wrote racial slurs on black dorms. How about Charlottesville? What happened there? Racial violence from white supremacists, neo-nazism, and alt-right groups. We have multiple vindications of hate crime against black people. We have police brutality against black people. Today, there are more hate crimes, more racial slurs, and more racial violence.

We need to limit racism. How? By showing love. John 13:34- "A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, even as I have loved you, that you also love one another." We need to start loving and stop hating on minorities. Use love as an equation against racism.

Instead of as x approaches to infinity f(x) = x, f(x) should be 1/x. All we have to do is write it out. How to write this equation? Go out there and show love towards the minority.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
