“Hi, my name is Anna Callahan.
I am a women’s lacrosse player majoring in political science at Duke University.”
That is the expectation for the introduction of my identity. Expectation and identity are intertwined in so many ways that creating impressions is a thin line to walk. For many people, society instills in their minds that they can achieve success by following societal norms.
