So Many Privileges

One thing that I never really thought about before this class was privileges.  We are privileged with so much that we do not even realize just for being who we are, just for being born where we were, etc.  I never realized how privileged I am for simply being a white American female.  I have the privilege to go to school and earn a degree.  I have the privilege go where I want to go and be who I want to be.  I am so very thankful for the privileges that I have.  Because of this class, I can now better recognize when I am taking advantage of a privilege and I am humbled by it.  I am very grateful for the things that I have been blessed with and for the opportunities I have been given.  Sometimes I feel guilty for the privileges I have been given.  This class has taught me that everyone is privileged in some sort of way.  The best thing we can do is to not let these privileges go to waste.  We should make the most of what life has given us.
