Sadly, being a woman is not the only aspect of someone 's identity that is constantly under scrutiny. Race is a major part a person’s identity, whether they themselves think so or not. This is a white man’s world that we live in so consequently if you are anything other than that you will most definitely encounter hardships in life.

In my example, I’m going to talk about the position I was recently hired for. My new job is the designated hitter (DH) for the Boston Red Sox (fictitious of course). I was hired to fill the shoes of David Ortiz who retired in 2016. I signed a 1 year contract for 5 million dollars. While this is well below the league average, my salary is incentive based.
