Privilege

One privilege that I have never really thought about is having to worry about fitting into classroom seats or onto rollercoaster rides.  The seats at LSU are extremely close together and the aisles are very narrow.  One of my guy friends is not overweight but is a burly guy so when he ties to sit in the classroom he has to squeeze himself into the seat. 

I remember when I went on my first rollercoaster ride when I was about 10 years old.  I did not want to go without my dad.  We got all the way to end of the line and it was finally our turn to board the ride.  We stand in place and weight for the attendant to strap us in.  The attendant hooked me in first and then went to my dad.  The safety harness would not latch and my dad was asked to step off of the ride.  This broke my heart.  I could not understand why my dad could not come with me.
