Op-Ed: Growing Up with a Community

Talking about large issues such as gender inequality, we often think of adults and the issues that arise when we enter that phase in life. We think of the societal issues of men versus women and the difference in treatment from professionals and regulars, however what if we took a step back and saw where it came from? Don’t all things build from a young age? Growing up as a female in a town full of unreachable high standards in all aspects of life, such as: school, grades, friend groups, etc, it was always hard for me to find my fit. I thought I had to conform myself to what other people wanted me to be in order to be liked or seen as an equal.
