Not only in the workplace, but also in collegiate and professional sports, we see major gender pay inequalities. Wage gaps in sports are very obvious and people are…

In the tenth grade, I learned that not everyone is going to like me. I have always viewed myself as someone that gets along with everyone. I had many friends. I was polite to everyone. I was good at what I did. I felt as I was well respected by my peers and coaches. I couldn’t think of one person that I didn’t get along with: until I met Rob Webb.

One of the most important essays in this chapter was called “Tie the Knot”, by W. Bradford Wilcox.

I had played all the positions over the years, but forward was definitely my favourite. I especially loved playing forward in the outdoor…
