The Man’s World
Although she had been athletic throughout her life, she kept hearing that the Marine Corps is a man’s world. She let this kind of talk get to her, and she started to feel judged and self-conscious from the start. She felt like she was being targeted.

She decided to push herself and prove that she did belong there. Luckily, there were other women around to help support her too.
