Throughout my college career I was judged by the way I looked more than by how smart I actually was. It really took a toll on me during my third year and I felt like I couldn't go on. Advisers and mentors I had all kept telling me, "Maybe engineering just isn't for you". On top of everything, I was one of few Latinas in my classes. Of course, all the Latina/os stuck together by joining organizations such as Pi Sigma Pi and SHPE. But, for a while, that wasn't enough for me. I longed to be a man, just because it seemed like everything came easier for them.
