Forced to choose between joining Canadas best synchronized ice- skating team in Burlington, Ontario or attending Canadas best university in Montreal, Cece Nease, 18, decided education comes first. But shes still pretty darn proud of making the team. I almost thought theyd exclude me for not having international experience, Nease said. Its a slow process for most girls who try out. They start on low-level teams, begin competing internationally on the junior team, and then move up to the senior team. But Nease had barely pulled her skates off when Team Canada 1, the best synchronized skating team in Canada and World Champions in 2009, said they wanted her on their senior team.

Glaucoma, on the other hand, is a group of eye diseases that slowly damage the fine nerves that connect the eye to the brain. For most people, this damage occurs when pressure in the eye is too high. When these nerves are damaged, vision loss may result. Glaucoma is the second-leading cause of blindness in the United States. But like diabetes, not enough people know about it: An estimated 4.2 million Americans have glaucoma but half are not aware of it.
