Undergraduate / Welcome a disable player as the captain; Columbia App; "ROYAL ROAD" & life experiences [3]

Hello guys. Here is the original prompt:

"As a mathematician in ancient Greece, Euclid made a famous statement to King Ptolemy, stating that there is no royal road to geometry.
Given your life experiences, what paths have you encountered that lacked a royal road to be followed? What did you learn from these experiences? (500-1,000 words)"

I have began my essay, thinking of talking about one of my experiences, as captain of a local basketball team, and I had to welcome a player with a huge disability. We wanted to win that season's cup, but we had no actual solution with her problem. Can I talk about this here, or is it totally out of the subject?

I can paste my draft after this if you want to see...
