- being accepted to a good teaching school thanks to my hard work and good grades during high school
- money to buy things because of working during high school
- good teaching connections because of my persistance and work ethic
- good reccomendations for jobs and scholarships because of my personalilty and reputation
- good friends because of an effort on my part to socialize
Privileges with no effort:
- 19 years old
- born into a financially secure family
- going to a good school system during grade school
- being born an American citizen- all opportunities and rights available to me
- living in the suburbs- neighborhoods and feel safer
- living in a lower middle class family- more opportunties than some but not as much as others
- being a female in the US- much more freedom than in other countries
- not being forced into one religion or the other- ability to make my own decisions
These privileges may effect my fieldwork by letting me understand some of the people I will be observing more. The people I will be observing are about the same age as me, they will be about a year older. This may help me because I have some of the same interests as them and understand some of the things they will talk about.
