    You prove yourself by doing what is required of you and more. Don't ask for favors and be an exceptional student. Whenever there are opportunities for professional development do it.

    As a woman in a male dominated field, it can be difficult. Don't be discouraged. Look into joining professional organizations and see if they have women support groups (academic counselors may be able to help you). You'll be able to exchange ideas and vent on issues that you may face.
